Backpack buttons

Button Button who earned a button?  There is a button craze going around Iron Springs Elementary. Parents you may have seen new buttons on your students backpacks or heard your students talking about the buttons going around Iron Springs Elementary! In an effort to encourage students to work toward learning key essential standards in each grade level one of our Special Education Teachers, Jennifer Harris, has created buttons for these standards in each grade level. This has also been implemented to help encourage students in their attendance at school.     

Our Principal, Mr Jenkins,  and Assistant Principal, Mr Grimm,  grab their button backpacks and join Mrs. Harris and her button covered fanny pack where they weekly stop by different classrooms to celebrate students' success in passing these standards.  It begins with a 2 finger drum roll as students' names are announced and they come up to the front to grab their buttons and show them off on their individual backpacks.
