🦃 Pre-Thanksgiving Spartan Cart Success! 🦃

Excitement was in the air this morning at Olympia Middle School! 🎉 The line was wrapped around the gym as our Spartans had a chance to spend their hard-earned tickets at the Black Friday Spartan Cart sale!

Our PBIS team slashed prices, and students walked away with all kinds of goodies. Hundreds of tickets were spent this morning—and remember, each ticket represents an instance of our amazing students displaying Respect, Responsibility, and positive Relationships!

We are incredibly thankful for the great things we are seeing at Olympia Middle School every single day! Keep up the excellent work, Spartans! 💙🤍
