P.R.I.D.E! Awards
We had so many exciting things going on before Spring Break that I forgot to announce our March PRIDE! winners. Congratulations to Kaylee for putting the P in Pride for her "Positive Attitude." Also, new in March was the exclamation mark, added to our award ceremony to honor someone who is spectacular during special area classes (like Art and Music). Congratulations to Abdul Samad for earning the first award of its kind. We are proud of the two of you!Subject Update:
