Congratulations to our Student of The Week for November 5 - 9,
Christopher Peredia.
Chris was chosen by his teachers for his diligence in his work, this year especially. Last year Chris waited for everything and was not as successful as he could have been. This year he has realized that he is in charge of his educational success and he has done an outstanding job in the classroom. Chris is another one of our students who gets involved in school by playing on our athletic teams including our flag football and basketball teams.
