Titan Student Spotlights
Perfect attendance pays off!
Congratulations to Gavin Vozar, who was selected through the Cleveland Browns’ Stay in the Game! Attendance Network to receive four free tickets to this Sunday’s home opener in recognition of his outstanding attendance!
Gavin didn’t miss a single day of school all of last school year, and he has kept that streak going this year with perfect attendance so far.
What a great example of what it means to Stay in the Game! Way to show up every single day, Gavin. Have an awesome time cheering on the Browns this Sunday!
