SGA NEWS  There was an error in the March Students of the Month. Jake Russo was accidentally recognized as a senior, when in fact he is a junior, and hence he is now the April Junior of the Month. With that, we would like to congratulate the new March Senior of the Month as none other than Carlyn Russell. She is always positive and willing to help others.  Additionally, she brings in homemade cookies for Mr. Smith’s class to brighten their days!
