Top kids of Term Two in No Missing Work were at Tie

Term 2 Peter Cole and Trygve Gard were the top students with No Missing Work for all the weeks of the term two quarter. Two Free Movie Tickets went to each of them. Kelly Kennaugh was the runner up and she won a Gift Card to Target. Way to go students. Thanks for all your hard work and diligence. Term 1 Kelly Kennaugh won the Movie tickets. We are once again watching for No Missing work and I am placing my money where my mouth is and having kids work for rewards that are out side of this school.
