The students have been working hard to demonstrate our Holme positive behaviors and be the best Dragons they can be.

Earning such cool trinkets makes it a no brainer to consistently demonstrate Dragon behaviors throughout the school day! Some of the behaviors we have been focusing on are having positive attitudes, owning our behavior, listening and learning, making responsible choices and engaging in safe practices. The goal is to lead by example with hopes students will encourage their school mates to do the same!","fullyFundedDate":1755414964383,"projectUrl":"project/dragons-are-respectful-responsible-and/9577825/","projectTitle":"Dragons Are Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Seider","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3090384_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1521047729028","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/team-seider-206"},{"teacherId":3201014,"projectId":8950375,"letterContent":"My school has a very bleak environment.
