Stacy Darrow from Instructional Services would like to honor Ms. Spendlove and her class at Bridgeport’s Thomas White Elementary for intentionally creating a positive classroom culture that values attendance and student commitment to learning. Ms. Spendlove has helped her students understand the importance of showing up each day and being ready to learn.

After meeting their goal of attending school for ten days and earning ten stickers together, the class celebrated their success with a well-earned pizza party!

You go, Bearcats!
