Here are some highlights from the SWARM kickoff Friday. Look at our hornets showing that SWARM behavior during the assembly! Teachers even had some fun and showed how to be SUCCESSFUL, have a WINNING ATTITUDE, and stay MOTIVATED by working together and not giving up. Also pictured are winners of our drawing. Many students earned tickets for SWARM behavior during the assembly. It's going to be a fun year for the hornets who show SWARM behavior.
