π Swamp-Tastic Halloween Heroes! π
The swamp air is thick with a spooky kind of magic, but the Fairy Godmother's tricks (and treats!) are no match for the true heroes in our midst! Just like Shrek and his pals brave the spookiest of castles, this new crew of students has been showing incredible heart and courage. Theyβre facing down the school week like theyβre facing a fire-breathing dragon! π
It's time to light the jack-o'-lanterns and celebrate the students who have proven they have the swamp-power to save the day!
We are thrilled to announce our latest Heroes of the Week who are making our school a magnificent and much less-scary place:
πJesus Borquez (nominated by Ms. Batt)
πΈMaximo Contreras Fuentes (nominated by Ms. Batt)
π¦Victor Cortez Jaime (nominated by Mr. G)
π»Leonardo Valdez MuΓ±oz (nominated by Nurse Karla)
A huge, slimy, and heartfelt congratulations to these fantastic heroes! Your actions are sweeter than any piece of Halloween candy. Keep shining, keep being brave, and let's see which legendary students answer the call next week! ππ
