🐾 Kicking Off the Year with Our PAWS Rally! 🐾

We had a great time at our Back-to-School PAWS Rally! Mrs. Crocker and Mrs. Irvin explained how students can earn PAWS points by making great choices and showing their Leopard pride, and all the fun rewards they can earn along the way!

We practiced our PAWS Rally chant, showed off our best moves with a little Freeze Dance, and got everyone excited for an awesome year!

We can’t wait to see our students earning those PAWS points! Let’s go, Leopards! 🐾
