Southdown School Hosts Special Assembly

The days leading up to the winter vacation were busy ones at Southdown Primary School, but there was still plenty of time for a jam packed school-wide Splash Assembly.

The “Splash” assembly draws its name from Southdown’s mascot; the dolphin. Students are awarded “splashes” for displaying positive behavior in the classroom and around the building, including being kind to others, demonstrating proper behavior in hallways and even lifting the spirits of someone feeling a little bit down.

One Southdown student is selected monthly from every class in the building for formal recognition at the “splash” assembly. The school considers these youngsters to be its stars of the month.

Southdown students had fun cheering for their award winning classmates. “It was a great assembly,” second grader Hendrix Evans said.

December’s Splash Award recipients include:

Universal Pre-Kindergarten: Liam Shocochic Ramirez, Harper Pacifico

Kindergarten: Edvin Contreras de Leon, Maria McElroy, Geovanni Baez, Valerie Flores Alfaro, Brandon Cabrera Zavala

First Grade: Dayana Alvarez, Sofia Ni Bhroin McNamee, Henry Schubert, Rashel Moreira Hernandez

Second Grade: Angel Reyes Molina, Andrew Romano, Arcangel Castro Torrez, Emily Rizzi

Third Grade: Dylan Oswald, Ernande Geneus, John Elle

Students are already working to accumulate enough “splashes” between now and the next assembly so they join the list of honorees.
