This year, we have a group of 7th-12th grade students who are assisting a group of adult mentors with our Honker Store for both elementary and high school. We'll do our best to keep all informed of what our peer leaders are up to each month. For this month: we're focusing on building upon a sense of belonging within our schools through using positive actions. Students can earn honker bucks through demonstrating positive actions related to being helpful, safe, and respectful.
