🌟 Cozad Kids Caught with Character – September 🌟
This month, we’re proud to celebrate our amazing students who were Caught with Character for showing the trait of RESPECT! 🙌
Respect means treating others the way you want to be treated, listening kindly, using polite words, and showing care for our school and community. Our September honorees have been shining examples of what it means to respect themselves, their classmates, their teachers, and their school. ❤️
👏 A huge shout-out to these role models—thank you for reminding us all that respect makes Cozad Elementary an even better place to learn and grow!
