Parent Conferences and Awards Assembly

I want to thank all the parents who braved the rainy night and came to Parent Teacher Conferences.  Eleven parents came to the conferences.  The next day we had our first Honor's Assembly for the school year.  Several students received ribbons for Principal's List, Honor Roll, Perfect Attendance and Student of the Quarter.  Below is a picture of some the students who received ribbons.  Keep up the good work!!!
