It's always a great day when two different businesses and their employees brag about students! Georgia Aquarium employees continued to compliment our 7th graders, while one of our community partners, Ken with KONA ICE, bragged on how kind our students were to each other during our Principal Celebration. We also have several students staying for PJ Cram sessions, working hard to increase their academic performance and overall understanding of curriculum. It's wonderful to work with such great students! #PJPRIDE
