Each month, the Board of Education recognizes students from every school at its meeting. This month, the Board of Education celebrated the following students and their achievements with the community:

Bryce Brister
Meet fifth grader, Bryce Brister. Over the years, he has grown so much. His perseverance and hard work have been noticed by all. His kindness, sense of humor, and academic achievements truly exemplify what is to be an MTES Dragon as well as leading with excellence by example. We know he will do great things as he moves on to middle school.

We are proud to recognize the remarkable growth of one of our fourth-grade students, Carson Grande. He has made significant strides in building his confidence, strengthening his relationships with both staff and peers, and fully engaging in his overall school experience. His positive attitude and willingness to grow have truly stood out, and it has been wonderful to see him become such an active and valued member of our school community. We are incredibly proud of how far he has come.
