Helix Elementary had our first Purposeful People awards assembly of the year and it was a huge hit! Awards were given out to students who went above and beyond demonstrating our monthly character traits. We also had drawings and an exciting minute-to-win-it challenge! We are so proud of all our little Grizzlies and their hard work! Way to go! A special thank you to Mr. Murray for bringing the band and taking our assembly to a whole new level of fun!!
