The November #BartowCares4U word of the month is appreciation. Appreciation is recognizing someone’s accomplishments or efforts. It includes sharing thanks and is often given through words of affirmation and gratitude.
After lessons and discussions during the month, our 5th students wrote notes of affirmation and gratitude. These notes were posted in the hallway to share with others. This is a great reminder to “lift each other up.”

Our White Elementary School staff and students want to give a huge shout out to the Cass High School JROTC program. Earlier this Fall, Battalion Commander Parker Dunn approached us about starting a project to help our students with reading. He wanted to create a plan that would provide reading assistance, as well as foster relationship building with our students. He called it the “Big Buddy Project.”
Each Friday approximately 10 – 12 JROTC Buddies come to read, practice sight words, and converse with our students. Teachers are sharing positive stories about the things they are seeing as their Buddy works with their students. We look forward to our continued partnership this school year and are excited about the future as this project grows.
