Dr. Gargan and Ms. Bernesby's kindergarten class at Levy Lakeside recently celebrated a “puppy-themed day” in recognition of their “paws”-itive behavior.

Through kindness, sharing, and teamwork, the students earned this special day by consistently showing thoughtfulness toward their classmates. Examples of these positive behaviors included helping a friend clean up after an activity, using kind words during playtime, and taking turns during group projects.

The puppy-themed SEL day featured fun academic activities, adopt a doggie, and crafts, all centered around reinforcing the importance of caring and respectful interactions among classmates. The kindergarteners had a tail-wagging good time celebrating their achievements!
