Mark Twain Rodeo Assembly honors

Mark Twain Elementary School’s monthly Rodeo Assembly on Friday, Jan. 30, focused on students who demonstrate the Portrait of a Cardinal trait of empathy.

The third graders were taught that empathy means understanding and caring about how others feel while building trust, showing compassion, and seeing situations from another perspective. Amerie, Kason, Tesla, Avery, Eli, Lukas, Jenna, Steven and Claire were this month’s Most Wanted students.
