Grizzlies thank staff members with encouraging gifts of flowers

Standing Bear students spread hope and kindness to staff members this week by sharing flowers with them at the high school.

Standing Bear Hope Squad members passed out flowers during Teacher Appreciation Week. They ordered bouquets of roses and gathered in a meeting space to plan which classrooms each group would visit. Staff members reacted with smiles and gratitude when they received the colorful flowers.

“Each flower was a small reminder of the big impact they make every single day through their support, encouragement and care for our students,” Hope Squad members said. “We are so grateful for the positive relationships they build and the difference they make in our school community. Thank you to all of our educators and staff for being a source of hope, strength and inspiration. You are truly appreciated!”

Standing Bear Hope Squad members take part in many uplifting activities each school year. Their goal is to inspire and encourage classmates, teachers and staff members with their actions.
