SPOTTING GOSPEL VALUES

Congratulations to Ms. Murphy's 1st grade class! They were nominated for a Gospel Value Spotting award by Mrs. Nowalk for demonstrating respect when they came in from recess. They set a positive example for the other grades that were in the same hallway. Enjoy your dress down day Monday!
