Character Counts at San Cayetano Elementary

On Monday, September 12th, 2011, San Cayetano School recognized good citizenship and character at their Peacebuilder Assembly for the month of September. Captain McGrath, Chief of Police for the City of Fillmore, came to speak to the students about what a good citizen is and how respecting others is important. She shared how we can be good citizens to help our school and community. Each teacher chose a student from his or her class whom showed excellent character and respect in the month of September. Aliza Ayala and Brian Arnett, two San Cayetano students assisted Captain McGrath in handing out the Peacebuilder Awards. The Peacebuilders for September are: Bryan Hurtado, Isaiah Hernandez, Damian Flores, Christopher Hernandez, Nathan Torres, Elisabeth Mercado, Viririana Carrillo, Marissa Diaz, Jaron Foy, Miguel Valdez, Kayla Priebe, Alyssa Ocegueda, Ty Wyand, Janeah Castro, Brianna Sanchez, Daniela Chavez-Hernandez, Carlos Hernandez, Hailey Avila, Eva Vieyra Saldana, and Kirah Collins. Captain McGrath then announced the San Cayetano Character Counts Award of a $100.00 savings bond sponsored by the John Paul Pet Foundation. Captain McGrath presented the Character Counts Award to a deserving fourth-grade student. Eva Vieyra Saldana was chosen by the fourth-grade teachers as a model of kindness and respectfulness to the other students and school community. Starting next month all students who come to school, each day, on time, are given a raffle ticket. The students place their tickets in a box and one ticket is drawn. The student whose ticket is drawn is given a NASA backpack with the book Max Goes to the Moon in it. Each month, the tickets will be put into a larger box that will be kept until the end of the year. In June, Mrs. Marholin, the principal, will draw from the tickets to give away two new bicycles.
