😎🛝 You've probably never seen a house sorting ceremony quite like this! This year, Charles Haskell is launching the Ron Clark Academy (RCA) House System, which creates a positive school environment by assigning students to houses where they build character, relationships and earn points for positive behavior. Each house has unique values, colors, and crests, fostering friendly rivalries and camaraderie. Charles Haskell kicked this program off BIG with an inflatable slide, costumed staff and a DJ (yep, you read that right)! 😁🏠 #ShineYourLight
