It was a special delivery day recently at Indian Lake Elementary School.
Co-Principals Jeff Reprogle and Molly Hall visited every classroom to present the Second Quarter Laker Zone Awards. One student in each class got a Laker Zone T-shirt to show that they have been good students, well-behaved, kind and caring for the last nine weeks.
In addition, students watched the latest Laker Zone video featuring the “Zone Buster” with help from “Angry Ninja,” who is learning how to use his R-Factor skills and “Press Pause.”
The Laker Zone is a long-time grant program that encourages students to help others, resist bullying and be hard workers in the classroom.
Students receiving T-shirts are: kindergartners Matthias Young, Gabriel Plum, Shailynn Szabo, Eli Snapp, Alexis Meeker and Karter Taylor; first-graders Reed Cascioli, Payton McQueen, Joleena Engler, Serenity Albert, Raegyn Greene and Adelaide Gansheimer; second-graders Mia Martin, Mary Baughman, Kason Taylor, Abigail Reed, Caliegh Hamilton-Hoy and Adeline Vermillion; third-graders Dalton Huffman, Zoey Ricketts, Calen McClelland, Abby Bihn, Brady Jackson and Stella Wagler; fourth-graders Raelin Klofta, Cole McClelland, Nixon Lillard, Isaiah Bayless, Jayden Myers, Layna Nessler and Austin Ferguson.
Perfect attendance is difficult to track this year because of quarantine situations. So, instead of drawing two students for bicycles each nine weeks, ILES is doing something different. Any student who received a Laker Zone Card this quarter is entered into a grade level drawing for gift cards.
Here are the winners for this nine weeks: kindergartners Shailynn Szabo and Soloman Whitsett received Dairy Queen gift cards; first-graders Todd Darling and Emry Warnecke, McDonald’s gift cards; second-graders Logan Kuhlke and Nikki Bihn, Cassano’s gift cards; third-graders Alysea Hefner and Mason Berg, Subway gift cards; fourth-graders Brysin Kuhlenbeck and Leah Cole won Taco Bell and McDonald’s cards, respectively.
Staff members also earned rewards for being “In the Zone.” Mrs. McClelland, Mrs. Ruhe, Mrs. Asman, Mrs. Wolf and Miss James all won Casual Day passes, while the grand prize Gathering Grounds gift cards went to Mrs. Downing and Mrs. Hooley.
