The third annual âHusky Store,â offered to Wahpeton Elementary School students earlier in December, was a success. During the holiday season, counselor Julie Carlson said, students received âHusky Bucksâ rather than greatness cards from staff.
âStaff recognized students displaying positive behavior, such as being respectful, responsible, kind and helpful,â Carlson said. âOn Dec. 17-18, we had our store in the extra fourth grade classroom.â
Fifth graders Jazzy Arenstein and Josiah Taylor were among the shoppers. Arenstein received bucks for being kind, saying thank you and please, as well as helping others. Taylor was rewarded for staying on task and being focused. Both shopped for loved ones and were impressed by the selection.
