Swimming Fun!

Today, fourth grade went to the Milaca High School Swimming Pool. We are thankful to have our certified lifeguard, Mrs. Printy watching over us!

To participate, students needed to have their Responsibility Card. All homework needed to be completed and turned into the respected teacher. Students needed to make smart choices and follow the school character traits (a.k.a. no "discipline referrals" since our last reward on October 5), and remember your permission slip, swim suit, towel, and a bag.

We LOVE this reward! It is one of our most successful rewards, and many students' memories (homework, permission slips, and swim gear) are working at their highest success rate.

Here are some pictures of some of our participants ...

It is high school girls swim season. The pool is cooler than what fourth graders prefer ... Usually, we can only swim in the pool for an hour. This year, when we had the opportunity to swim longer, we were thrilled! We are very thankful for the opportunity to use the high school pool. It is a reward that many elementary schools are unable to provide to their students.

Congratulations to this round of responsible students!
