🐾 Dear Bulldog Families,

A big thank you to all our PAWSitive 90s Bulldog Scholars who displayed school spirit and fun at the dance!

Our campus expectations continue to focus on PAWS: Pride, Accountable, Wise, and Safe.

These educators truly go above and beyond to ensure that your students have a PAWSitive experience. Β Special thanks also to Instructor Bural and Instructor Rich for donating decoration items as PAWS PBIS committee members. πŸ’œπŸ’›

The entire Roy Johnson STEM Academy staff is committed to making every student’s experience at our school wonderful. The dance was a true team effort, and these educators went above and beyond to make it memorable! 🐾
