Our "Safari Stars" of the week have officially been spotted, and we could not be prouder of the way they are leading the pack! 🦁🌟
Throughout last week, our observant school guides (our incredible teachers and staff members) were keeping a sharp eye out in the wild.

Last Week’s Celebrated Explorers:
⭐Dylan Armenta Betancurt - Nominated by Mr. Alex
⭐Giselle Manzo Renteria - Nominated by Ms. Batt
⭐Adrian Cruz Jimenez - Nominated by Ms. Karla
⭐Lexie Ochoa Arce - nominated by Ms. Batt & Mr. G

Every act of goodwill, big or small, helps make our school community a stronger, safer, and happier habitat for everyone.
The safari continues! Keep your eyes open, because our guides are already tracking new acts of character, courage, and respect. We can't wait to see which brave explorers will earn their spot in the spotlight next week! 🦓🤎

Our "Safari Stars" initiative is in full swing, and we are so proud of all our young explorers who are showing what it means to lead the pack! 🦁⭐️
Our "Safari Stars" spotlight is a daily reminder that we can all navigate the wild with pride by keeping our habitat clean, lending a helping paw, showing kindness, speaking the truth, and taking charge of our trek. 🐘💚
Whenever a guide or ranger (a teacher or staff member) "catches" a student doing a good deed in the wild, they are nominated as one of our Stars of the Savanna! 📸🦏 Their name echoes across the wilderness during morning announcements, and Mrs. Silva calls them down to snap a picture of their shining moment. The photo is then posted for the whole pride to see!🎞🦒
Our first Safari Stars are:
⭐️Tadeo Morquecho Blanco nominated by Ms. Mini
⭐️Oscar Ramirez Campos nominated by Mrs. Silva
⭐️Ian Cota nominated by Mrs. Silva
⭐️Victoria Martinez Lopez nominated by Ms. Ruiz
We can't wait to see which brave explorers will earn their spot in the spotlight this week! 🦓🤎 Track those good deeds, stars! 🐾🌟
