MAY COURAGE ASSEMBLY

- Our last time together as the 2016-2017 CUBS!-

On Thursday, May 18th Winograd CUBS large and small gathered together for one last time. Each year the highlight of our May assemblies is the awarding of the "T-Time Teddies." Every student who read consistently throughout the year was rewarded with a teddy bear and a book to take home with them.

Fourth grade students announced that with the money they had earned in the school store, they were able to adopt a tiger at the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado. And May's Health Heroes (sixth graders Sylvia C. & Jayden B.) were also announced.

The winners of the highest average daily attendance for Primary, Intermediate, and Middle School grades were acknowledged, and we awarded third grade Math Masters, drew from the last batch of COURAGE Awards, and were treated to music selections from the middle school band. The band also accompanied us as we sang the school song at the end of the assembly.

It was a great day to be a CUB!
