March Students of the Month

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/14/2021 - 8:11am

Congratulations to our March Student of the Month recipients. Students are nominated by their teachers based on achievement, leadership, service, and character. Generally, we host a donut breakfast or pizza lunch for these students. Since we are unable to host these events, teachers created personalized messages for each student which were sent directly to these students. There are also individual prizes for the students to pick up in the office.
