September Bucket Fillers

We try to promote positive behaviors and kindness amongst our students.  Students who are identified as "Bucket Fillers" are students who displayed a positive behavior or attitude that made others feel good.  So far we have had 55 Bucket Fillers.  If your child received one, he or she should have brought home a Bucket Filler certificate and a Red Robin certificate for a free kid's meal.  Congratulations to our Bucket Fill-ing students!!!
