Congratulations to this week's dude.we.see.you winner, Veronica Curry! Here is what another student said about her: “Veronica does not have just one situation that proves her kindness, it's all around. She smiles at those who don't smile back and lights up the room when she walks in. Never has she failed to brighten someone's day despite how bad it might have been. She is always caring and looking out for those around her even with little things like sharing gum, or just helping a fellow student out. Her character is admirable as she may have had the worst day in the world, but she would never take it out on you or implement her pain on others. She celebrates others' victories and should be celebrated herself for being such a great friend.” Veronica, we see you!
7th grade continued their how-to speeches today!

Congratulations to this week's dude.we.see.you winner, Norah Dillon. Here is what another student said about Norah: "My presentation group was really struggling to finish our presentation, so Norah stepped in and helped us finish in study hall. She gave up her own time to work on homework just to help us and helped make our presentation go flawlessly.” Norah, we see you!
