🌟 Tiger Highlight: Showing Perseverance at Lucy Wortham James Elementary! 🌟
In April, LWJE witnessed remarkable displays of perseverance as our students tackled challenges with determination and resilience. April's Word of the Month was PERSEVERANCE!
Throughout each month, students across all grade levels will participate in engaging classroom challenges that encourage them to embody the “Word of the Month” in their daily lives. At the end of the month, each classroom teacher will select a student who has truly embraced the spirit of the word. These students will be recognized as "Students of the Month.”
Let's applaud our LWJE Students of the Month for April! 👏 #perseverance #stjschools #tigerpride
