Cougar Paw Monthly Winners

Submitted by leann.wood on Fri, 12/04/2020 - 14:43

You’ve probably heard your student mention they received a Cougar Paw. This is a program to reward students for good behavior, kindness to others, being helpful around the school, and being mindful of other people in different ways. Each morning, Mrs. Huntsman reads the names of all the cougar paw winners from the previous day. At the end of each month, names are chosen from each grade level from all those in the month who received a cougar paw and they receive a prize and get their picture taken.

They receive a certificate, a treat, and get their picture taken. Orchard Hills has some fantastic Bus Drivers!
