Each teacher chose one student who exemplifies hard work and a positive attitude, regardless of the task at hand. The students were invited to a party during the day where they played games and had hot chocolate and snacks, and then they were presented a certificate during half-time of the boys' game that evening. We are very proud of these students and the great character that they show at school everyday!
