Roots & Shoots
meets in January

Roots & Shoots members met on January 26th in Mrs. Maxwell's kindergarten classroom. After conducting the business portion of the meeting, the students went into the gym to complete the chosen activities for the month. Students recycled all the paper boxes in the classrooms. Then, they began making character bracelets. The bracelets signify the six pillars of character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. Each pillar is represented by a different colored bead. The beads were strung on leather cording. The students are selling the bracelets for $2 apiece to help raise money to participate in the Relay for Life in May.
The next meeting will be on February 15th, when we will decorate for the Burton Elementary PTO sponsored Valentine's Day dance.
