Mrs. Elder’s 1st grade class won the first “No Tardy Tater” incentive for the 2023-2024 school year. At the beginning of the year, each classroom received a Mr. Potato Head. Every day that the present students are in class ON TIME, they get to add a piece to their Mr. Potato Head. The class that gets all of the pieces added first wins a certificate to hang outside their classroom and a special treat. This is a friendly completion to encourage students to be present and on time!
