Congratulations to our final Superintendent Shout Outs for the year, JAMS Declan Dunn and DEES Ma'Laiya Coleman! Sarah Svoboda and DeWonda McComb received IASB pins for being Established Board Members, completing many hours of professional growth as members.
Our GEWLs presented outstanding, innovative commercials on products they designed to encourage young women to embrace their true, natural beauty. We had mirrors that recited positive affirmations, scales with no numbers- just positive reinforcement, websites to explore things that enhance each of your unique features, just as a few examples. These ladies will change the world!
