Hey Panda Family,
Friday the 13th in October! What a spooky treat 😱😂 Speaking of treats, it is always a treat and a joy to see the positive energy throughout the building. Adult behaviors IMPACT student behaviors & adult behaviors IMPACT adult behaviors. This can be positive or negative. How are we impacting our students and colleagues?
