Students Spread Holiday Cheer Through Service

In an inspiring display of commitment to the school community, two sixth grade students, Ny’kerria Ling and Danna Mata Apolinar, took action to improve their school environment. Noticing a bag floating by them in the wind one morning as they waited to enter school, they grabbed the bag and began to collect the debris they saw around them. Their spontaneous act of cleaning up the environment was recognized by the school administration who praised and rewarded their display of good character. Their dedication not only benefits their peers but also sets a positive example for others to follow, fostering a culture of involvement and care.
