In November, we often think of thankfulness and gratitude for all that we have. Our school district believes in developing well-rounded students so they may become adults who are not only lifelong learners but citizens who show empathy and compassion for others. At the Byron Intermediate School, this month, we kicked off a change for children campaign to support the Wishes for More Foundation. Wishes and More supports children and their families who are ill with Wishes, Scholarships and Memorials. A friendly competition between both the Primary and Intermediate schools to see who can raise the most money during the month of November will determine which school gets a movie and pizza. In addition to this campaign, students at both schools are involved in activities and events such as All Pro Dads, school leadership along with service learning projects like lawn raking and classroom buddies where they have opportunities to learn about being a good person and serving others. Way to go Bears!
