Caught Showing His PAWS! 🐾

One of our newest Panthers, Connor, was caught being kind, following the rues, and helping others.

Congratulations, Connor! We are so proud of you for showing us what it means to be a part of our Panther Pack! 💙💛

We are so excited to share our newest PBIS incentive for this school year!

Each week, Maxwell Hill Elementary staff members will select students who demonstrate what being a Panther is all about! These students have been CAUGHT SHOWING THEIR PAWS! 🐾

Students have the opportunity to be recognized by demonstrating our PAWS expectations:

💙 P – Be Prepared
💛 A – Act Responsibly
💙 W – Work Hard and Play Safe
💛 S – Show Respect

When a student is caught showing their PAWS, their name will be entered into our weekly drawing!

Each Friday, one lucky winner will be selected as our PAWsome Panther and will win a FREE ice cream coupon and t-shirt.

Our first student caught showing their PAWS is Emberlee, who was caught helping others! Way to go, Emberlee!

We can't wait to see who next week's PAWsome Panther will be! 🐾

Mrs. Meadows’ third grade reading class had a blast performing “text feature surgery” last week! Before scrubbing in, students had to “graduate from medical school” by demonstrating their understanding of different text features. Once ready, they read patient “symptoms” and worked to determine which text feature would save the day. It was a fun, hands-on way to build reading skills and critical thinking. Way to go, third grade!
