Lia is the definition of dependable; she is always showing up with a smile on her face and ready to help in any way she can. She consistently puts others first, going above and beyond to support her peers and our school community. Her positive attitude, kindness, and selflessness make her an absolute pleasure to work with and a true role model for everyone around her. We’re so proud to have Lia on our Safety Patrol team! 💙💛
Also, we would like to wish Ms. Morris a very Happy Nurse's Day!
