Two of our talented eighth-grade students have been recognized for their outstanding essays on Life Sciences. Marleigh Boone and Pari Patel were awarded $1,000 prizes for their winning submissions in a competition sponsored by Rite Dose.

Rite Dose first connected with students during the eighth-grade career fair and later returned on Wednesday, March 19 to Pine Ridge to present the awards. In addition to the individual student prizes, the Pine Ridge Middle School Science Department also received a $1,000 donation, further supporting science education at the school.

Congratulations to Marleigh and Pari on their impressive achievement!
