Elementary students at Central Lyon are taught that our four core expectations are to Respect All, Offer Help, Accept Responsibility, and Reach Expectations (ROAR). Staff acknowledge students following those expectations by giving them “ROAR cards” to point out what they were doing well. The cards are collected in a tote by the office. The cards are counted and six ROAR cards are drawn to recognize students who have demonstrated our Central Lyon ROAR expectations during that month. These students are known as “Lion Kids of Character” and are awarded a certificate to thank them for demonstrating our core expectations. Congratulations to these Lion Kids of Character! Way to ROAR!

Congratulations to the November Kids of Character! Way to work hard and ROAR!
