Our Little Griffins assembled in the gym for Fabulous Friday this morning. We announced our Leaders of the Month, played a game where Mrs. Simmons and her student won first place, and recognized our third Portrait of a Graduate for the year!
Being a Global Communicator is one of the characteristics of the DeSoto Parish Schools Portrait of a Graduate. Makenna was chosen by NDLE for this characteristic. Makenna does such a great job of expressing herself and trying to advocate for others. She's a great communicator and always tries to help those who are having a rough day by trying to target what is upsetting them and finding a way to make them feel better. She is very curious and not afraid to ask questions or give her opinion. She also has a great sense of humor and takes things in stride.
Keep leading, learning and growing Little Griffins!
