Kids Plus delivered books and “Reading Buddies” to all of the students at the Vaughan Steffensrud. Students are encouraged to read their new book to their buddy over Holiday Break!

Mr. Cerar – Nominated by Brent Dragony
Mr. Cerar always gets really invested in the topics he teaches and makes the discussions interesting. He also does a great job of making sure you understand what he is talking about. He cares about his students in school and tries his best to help everyone athletically outside of school. Thank you Mr. Cerar!
Mason Barto – Nominated by Mrs. Yuretich
I am nominating Mason for Student of the Week as he has shown great improvement since the start of the year. Mason is perseverant in his goals of mastering the material. He works hard, asks for help when needed, uses feedback to correct and improve, and has a good awareness of the things he still needs to work on. This perseverance, hard work, and awareness will take him far. Mason, keep up the good work!
Dakota Stevens – Nominated by Mr. Cerar
Dakota has had a great last couple weeks in class. I've loved his increased participation in our class discussions. It has become evident that he has a bright mind and a curiosity for history (whether he'll admit it or not!). He also does a fantastic job at working together on assignments with his peers. I'm expecting great things in Dakota's future education. Keep it going bud!



From Kids Plus:
Our December story and craft class read “How to Catch an Elf.” Students made snow globes, Christmas tree ornaments, and elves! They also enjoyed a holiday snack.
