Members of Mrs. Ramsey's 4/5th grade class made positive signs with their favorite saying for the walls at Williams Elementary School.
Positive language supports the concepts of a positive (growth) mindset and a belief that anything is possible if you work hard enough and have a clear idea of what to do.
Congratulations to Christian Larson and Lily Ghere who were both named 2nd Team All Apollo Conference for Basketball!
