Carterville Students of the Month are cooperative

Carterville Elementary students in the month of May focused on being cooperative. They learned they can be cooperative by… following directions, giving positive feedback, being a team player, not competing with others, being an active listener, being patient, compromising, taking turns, including everyone and being accepting.

The May Students of the Month are: (FRONT) Asher, Silas, Nico, DeAngelo, Brooklyn, Carolyn. (BACK) Braden, Kinsey, Miranda, Ty, Seth and Aryana. (Lauren Thompson photo)
