Photo furnished SES Gold Slip Winners Sullivan Elementary School Gold Slip winners for the month of October are pictured. Keegan Adams and Marissa Fleshner volunteered their time helping out in the music room by cleaning instruments. Johnathan Iacobazzi and Zaden Husson helped two students who were having difficulty with math. They were very patient and asked the students questions in order for them to get the correct answers.  Kaden DalPonte picks up trash in the cafeteria line everyday on his way out. After he throws away the food on his tray, he goes back into the kitchen to make sure it’s picked up. Johnathan Davis saw a student working in the hallway on his way back to the classroom and kindly asked if he could help that student with his work.  Kyle Corkill has been an amazing leader for his classmates. He sets a good example by doing the right thing and is responsible, respectful, and helpful.
