Character Counts at San Cayetano Elementary

On Monday, October 3, 2011, San Cayetano School recognized good citizenship and character at their Peacebuilder Assembly for the month of October. Paul Capra from John Paul Pet, came to speak to the students about what a good citizen is and how respecting others is important. He shared how we can be good citizens to help our school and community. In addition, he spoke about our animal companions, to treat them with respect as well and groom them. Each teacher chose a student from his or her class whom showed excellent character and respect during the month. Hailey Avila and Bryan Arnett, the San Cayetano ASB President and Vice-President assisted Paul in handing out the Peacebuilder Awards. The Peacebuilders for October are: John-Quentin Hernandez, Izabelle Estrella, Della Alamillo, Cynthia Valecillo, Andrea Laureano, Yulisa Lopez Sajardo, Miranda Magaña, Jazmin Patiño, Juan David Linares, Emilia Magdaleno, Evan Alamillo, Noah Montañez, Samantha Cabral, Cesar Magaña, Abby Sanchez, Dylan Crawford, Lilian Diaz, Wendy Carrillo, and Michael Priebe. John Capra then announced the San Cayetano Character Counts Award of a $100.00 savings bond sponsored by the John Paul Pet Foundation. Paul Capra presented the Character Counts Award to a deserving second-grade student. Julio Negrete was chosen by the second-grade teachers as a model of kindness and respectfulness to the other students and school community. To conclude the assembly, students were reminded to turn in their Perfect Attendance tickets. Each 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. This month’s perfect attendance winner is Bryan Arnett, from Ms. Dewey’s classroom. 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.
