🌟 Congratulations to our February Students of the Month: Harper, Trisha, and Holden!
Our word of the month was grit—which means showing determination, perseverance, and a strong work ethic, even when things get challenging. In school, grit looks like not giving up on a tough assignment, staying focused, and continuing to try your best no matter what.
We are so proud of these students for demonstrating grit each and every day. Keep up the great work!
