Ash is always polite and genuinely a pleasure to have in class as well as work with. Congratulations!!
The 7th grade teachers are proud to nominate Makayla Scalera as the Rotary Student of the Month. While Makayla is a strong reader and writer, her skills extend beyond the classroom.

Makayla maintains a positive attitude and can often be found with a smile on her face, even when completing her assignments. Makayla, along with her parents, Mr. Pray and Mr. Elliott enjoyed a luncheon at Pegasus on Wednesday, April 9th. Congratulations, Makayla!
