Mrs. Powledge spread the message of good manners and kindness with one of her favorite books,
Do Onto Otters: A Book About Manners by Laurie Keller. Pre-Kindergarten and eighth-grade students read along with Mrs. Powledge and discussed how good manners and kindness follow the school-wide expectation of respecting and appreciating God's creation. Students designed their own otters, which were then posted along gym walls and hallways as a reminder to "do onto 'otters' as you would have 'otters' do onto you."
