Way to go, Shayla
Proud parents Mr. and Mrs. Morgan want to share their pride in their daughter, Shayla. She received the Golden Table award for being a great example of showing respect last marking period.
She also received a Golden Table award last year for showing responsibility.
Shayla is a third-grader in Mrs. Wagner’s class at Maugansville Elementary School.
Two students from each class are selected each marking period to be recognized for displaying one of the character traits from the six pillars of the Character Counts! initiative. The six traits are respect, responsibility, citizenship, trustworthiness, caring and fairness.
The students selected are honored during their lunchtime at a Golden Table, where they receive a book and other special treats from the school’s counselor, Mrs. King, and the PTA.
