Today, Mrs. Peaslee had the pleasure of eating lunch with not one, but two students who cashed in Eat Lunch with the Principal Coupons purchased from the STOMP Store! Every two weeks, students are able to shop from their homeroom STOMP stores using tickets they have earned for following school-wide expectations through our PBIS program. This is just one of the many experiences available to students through this program.
At Monday evening's Board of Education Meeting held at Kingwood Elementary School, the KES Local School Improvement Council gave a presentation on our school's successes, needs, and goals moving forward. Members of the KES STOMP News Crew kicked off the meeting with a special live broadcast, and they did a phenomenal job! These fourth graders are current Student Council officers and include Emerson Bradley, Zachary McNair, Olivia Kelly, Maeley Hayes, and Rylee Bolyard. Well done, Stags!
Kingwood Elementary School Testing Incentive Program winners for the Fall 2023 are: Bentley Likens, Colin Sell, Maddie Moreland, Cooper Welch, Colton Arbogast, and the grand prize winner for the gift certificate from our generous donor Launch Pad Trampoline Park in Morgantown was Jace Russ. These students demonstrated outstanding testing behaviors and motivation during the most recent iReady diagnostic test. We are so proud of all of our students! Keep up the good work!
