๐ During the month of September, Spencer Elementary School students focused on EARNING RESPECT โ one of the outstanding characteristics of our EAGLES! ๐ฆ
So, what is respect?
Respect means treating others with kindness, listening when someone is speaking, honoring differences, and showing care for people, places, and things around us.
This morning during our monthly student body assembly, one student at each grade level was recognized for exemplifying RESPECT through word, action, and deed:
Mira Sapp (K), Rylee Barron (1st), Dash Owens (2nd), Catherine Mooneyham (3rd), Skylee Brymer (4th), and Jack Mills (5th). Congratulations to these students! We appreciate your example of RESPECT!
Weโre so proud of our students for practicing respect in their classrooms, hallways, playgrounds, and beyond. ๐ Let's keep soaring high, Eagles! #EaglePride #RespectMatters #SoaringWithRespect
