At La Farge Elementary, we use PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) as a way to teach and reward positive behaviors. Each month, we have an assembly to celebrate and reinforce the behaviors being taught, acknowledge students and classes, and to have fun as a school community. This month, these students were chosen for doing a good job at handing strong emotions. Great job to all of our La Farge Elementary students. We are so proud of you using our Wildcat 4 (Respectful, Responsible, Safe, and Kind)!
