On Monday, February 6th, San Cayetano School recognized good citizenship and character at their Peacebuilder Assembly for the month of February. Paula Phillips from the Right Road Kids, came to speak to the students about what a good citizen is, believing in yourself, “I can do it”, 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 during the month. Hailey Avila and Bryan Arnett, the San Cayetano ASB President and Vice-President assisted Mrs. Phillips in handing out the Peacebuilder Awards. The Peacebuilders for February are: Michael Santoyo, Venice Aparicio, Makayla Balboa, Dorian Foster, Nathan Delgadillo, Irvin Rodriguez, Gabriel Gomez, Alexander Adame, Aleena Castañeda, Luke Hernandez, Alexis Rosales, Anateresa Jimenez, Noelani Sanchez, Moises Martinez, Aiyanna Simental, Alejandro Rodriguez, Diana Perez, Ulany Valencia, and Hailey Carrillo. Mrs. Phillips then announced the San Cayetano Character Counts Award of a $100.00 savings bond sponsored by the John Paul Pet Foundation. She presented the Character Counts Award to a deserving kinder student. Michael Santoyo was chosen by the kinder teachers as a model of kindness and respectfulness to the other students and school community. 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 Angelina Delgadillo from room 10. Each month, the tickets will be put into a larger box that will be kept until the end of the year. In June, Mrs. Lee, the principal, will draw from the tickets to give away two new bicycles.
