Ashmore Elementary students were recognized during today's Community Meeting. Students who had perfect attendance for the month of October received certificates and $5 in Ashmore Bucks. 47% of Ashmore students had perfect attendance in the month of October.
Recently Ashmore Elementary wrapped up their fall fundraiser. The goal was to sell at least $6000 worth of items. The students surpassed their goal by almost $2000! Students discussed during community meetings how they could use the 7 Habits to help meet their goal and support the Ashmore PTO. Every student that sold 7 or more items had the opportunity to pie Mr. Nick Taylor in the face. 31 pies to the face is dedication and shows so much support to our school and students. Thank Ashmore students, parents, and Ashmore PTO for a great fundraiser. Big thank you to Mr. Taylor for being such a good sport! #ashmorecusd1
