Mikayla (Ash) Riley is our 10th grade Rotary Student of the Month! She is a wonderful student who works hard in all classes. Ash is very passionate about music and is always striving to learn new things to become a better singer and musician. Ash is always polite and genuinely a pleasure to have in class as well as work with. Congratulations!!
The 7th grade teachers are proud to nominate Makayla Scalera as the Rotary Student of the Month. While Makayla is a strong reader and writer, her skills extend beyond the classroom. She was a member of the Cheer Squad during the Winter season, helping to spread school spirit during both boys and girls basketball games. Makayla maintains a positive attitude and can often be found with a smile on her face, even when completing her assignments. Makayla, along with her parents, Mr. Pray and Mr. Elliott enjoyed a luncheon at Pegasus on Wednesday, April 9th. Congratulations, Makayla!
