Doing the right thing isn't always the popular thing! This learner showed incredible courage by speaking up for a peer when it mattered most. His loyalty, empathy, and willingness to stand up for others are what true character is all about. Appreciate him! #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay

Mrs. Crandall, from our ELC program, nominated this learner for her incredible kindness! A classmate needed extra encouragement, so she wrote him a note reminding him he could do it, and helped him along the way. What a wonderful example of compassion! #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay

For three years, HSD elementary schools have turned their cafeterias into themed experiences during National School Lunch Week, competing for the Golden Apple Trophy and a year of bragging rights.

This year’s theme was “Cafeteria Circus,” and Liberty Elementary took the crown! 🎉 Staff built an interactive Broccoli Man photo spot from cereal boxes and crafted a ringmaster and strongman from empty milk cartons, bringing the circus to life while promoting healthy choices.

Way to go, Liberty! Enjoy the bragging rights until next year. 🎪🍎🏆

This young lady received TWO nominations for a #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay – (1) for showing kindness & integrity by picking up some garbage in the lunchroom, and (2) for being an exceptional friend to peers making sure they're getting the help they need. Let's go!!!

Mrs. Enebo is SO APPRECIATIVE of this young lady and her heart for taking care of others. One example: a friend got hurt on the playground & she took extra care to make sure her friend was okay and got to the nurse. Love seeing kids show so much compassion! #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay
