Coyote Card Winners!

At Kimberly Lane we notice great behavior! Any staff member at Kimberly Lane can distribute a "Coyote Code Coupon" when they notice students following our CODE behavior. (Considerate, Own your actions, Do your best, Everyone is safe) If your student brings one of these Coyote Code Coupons home it's because they were noticed for showing CODE behavior through their positive actions. Be proud! Congratulations to Alex, Aarit, Emma, Mira, Shiaflyn, and Mason!
