Recently, we celebrated the December Middle School Student of the Month winners. Each month, our teachers nominate and choose two students from each grade who demonstrate continuous efforts in building a positive culture within and without our school walls. These students live with excellence and of noble character. These students remind us what it means to be a #proudwatchdog.

Congratulations to December's winners!
8th Grade: Mark Lind and Elsie Anderson

7th Grade: Ryan Velasquez and Brynley Hansen

6th Grade: Dylan Ellis an Bergen Hansen
