For November, our focus was "GROW AS A CRITICAL THINKER" - recognizing someone who thinks things through and solves problems in smart ways. They ask great questions, try new ideas, and aren’t afraid to think differently to figure things out.
We are proud to recognize the following students for exemplifying “Grow as a Critical Thinker!" They were recognized at the Board Meeting last night.
