1.   All students need to be mindful of the Bear Paw of respectfulness when it comes to not littering at school.  Throwing away all trash items is an important way of showing respect to everyone we share the building with and our custodians who work very hard to keep our environment clean. This applies to candy wrappers.  A number of these have been showing up on the floor at the end of the day.  On the occasion that you happen to receive a piece of candy as a treat, you need to be sure that the wrapper is properly disposed of.
