The LEARN Mission

• Appreciate: We appreciate our school. We take care of our materials and keep the building clean. We appreciate our community. We say thank you to people when they do something kind for us. we appreciate differences. We ask questions about people to learn more about them. We thank them for sharing.
• Restore: when someone does something we don’t like, we tell them in a clear and respectful way. We take apologies seriously and only apologize if we truly mean it and have a plan to make it better.
• Nurture: We respect the learning environment so that we all can grow our brains. We show care for all, not just our friends. We understand that people have hard
• moments. We support them through them.
