We really have a lot of great kids in Pleasant Hill!  I am reminded of this fact every day as I visit classrooms and see our students working diligently at teacher assigned tasks.  Our entire staff tries to make a concentrated effort spending more time thinking and praising those positives that happen every moment of our day.

Thus, we have a class award called the OREO award.  Yes, that’s right, it is named after the black and white cookie.  Teachers may nominate any one of their hours to receive this award.  And yes, the winning class each week will receive an OREO cookie snack.

Criteria:  Overall, the class as a whole must do a great job on being:

O rganized

R espectful

E nthusiastic

O utstanding

I would like to present the following OREO award to a class today.  They were nominated by their teacher for the following OREO traits:

I'd like to nominate my 1st hour for an OREO Award. Every day they come in to class prepared and work on their Focus without any reminders. Some students get finished with their Focus way before others since everyone arrives to school at different times. Even when they finish early, they stay quiet and patient while everyone else is finishing. I really appreciate their respect for their peers and their cooperation.—Mrs. Gilmore

We are off to a great start of the school year! 

Educationally,
Jenny Bell, Principal
