Earlier in the week, this group of girls, Ava, Janey, Sydnee, Lexi and Addelynn, were very helpful calming down a student during lunch. Thank you for expressing the "V" (value others) in the VHS positive referrals!
Game Day!
Waterville Elementary loved hosting the Rotary club today for their meal and meeting! 2nd graders shared our morning JumpStart routine including the pledge of allegience, anti-bully rules, VHS character traits, daily affirmation, and the Colts cheer! We also had two 2nd graders volunteer to serve the meal!
What a great way to end the day! Mrs. Koehler's 5th grade class (all students) received the VHS positive referral this afternoon. They all worked really hard as a team on their math assignment. Great job everyone!

This has been a great week for students receiving positive VHS referrals. DeAnna received one from Mrs. Koehler in 5th grade for working really hard in the homework room at CRU. Connor and Molly both received one from Mrs. Joseph; Connor helped a fellow student and Molly did a good job on a book review. Mrs. Hardin awarded Sophia and Lilly for helping and being good listeners to classmates. Lastly, in Mrs. Koehler's class, Olivia was helpful in cleaning up after a mess. Awesome job to all for displaying VHS qualities!
