🌟 Project Cornerstone in Action! 🌟
This month, we explored the traits of C.H.I.R.P.—Courage, Honesty, Integrity, Responsibility, and Perseverance—with a special focus on Responsibility.
Students examined photos of planters that had been misused as trash cans and discussed how making the right choice—properly disposing of trash—helps keep our school clean.
A big thank you to Mr. Galvin's 2nd-grade class for their hard work in installing the beautiful flowers now blooming near the library!
If your classroom has a project or story to share, we’d love to feature it! Please reach out to: communications@wgepta.org.
