Congratulations to Ashlyn Tapio and Wyatt Wuertzer on being named recepients of the Nedved Media & POET Elite 8 Academic Award!!! This award is given to 8 female and 8 male students in the Q107.3 listening area (A BIG AREA!) Being a recipient of this award is a huge honor and we are excited as a school to have two of these award winners. Congrats and we are SUPER proud of both of you!
Shout out to these two students. Mr. K planted a piece of trash in the hallway to see which students would take the initiative to pick up a piece of trash and throw it away to keep their school clean! Even if it wasn't their mess. These two passed the test and were rewarded with some Daylight Donuts!! Give them a pat on the back if you see them!
