At Cooper Elementary they wanted to focus on positive lunchroom behavior, so everyday one upper elementary and one lower elementary classroom is selected to receive a golden spatula. To earn this award, students must show kindness and respect to each other, be tidy while they eat, clean up after themselves and chat amongst themselves at a respectable noise level. The classrooms that earn the most golden spatulas throughout the month earn a VIP lunch to celebrate their hard work. Students get to sit at decorated tables on the stage with place settings and a treat. Special community guests are invited each month to celebrate with our students. Most recently, the students from Mrs. Mudget’s and Mr. Kigar’s classes had lunch with Officer Farris and Officer Rantz. Great job to these students and thanks to our special guests for joining the Koalas to celebrate this recognition!
