It's been a great week to be a Colt!

Hispanic Heritage Month is a month-long celebration of Hispanic and Latino history and culture.

While we celebrate Hispanic and Latino communities beyond this month, from September 15th to October 15th, we give extra recognition to the many contributions made to the history and culture of the United States, including important advocacy work, vibrant art, popular and traditional foods, and much more.

Way to go Jerusha, Liam, and Clayton!

Jerusha Davis (6th Grade)

“Jerusha not only advocates for herself, but also her peers and encourages her peers to become self-advocates.” - Mrs. Cook

Liam Lampert (7th Grade)

“Liam is always attentive, friendly, and helpful. One day, Liam saw that the messy magazine situation was getting out of hand in the classroom and took it upon himself to clean it and organize it without being asked. Thanks, Liam, for being a positive student role model.” - Ms. Jilka

Clayton Croxen (8th Grade)

“Clayton has done an outstanding job of participating in class discussions and being a model student by putting forth his best effort daily. Keep up the great work, Clayton!” - Mr. Clark
