Trinity Z. was acknowledged for her involvement in Challenge 24, a program tailored for current FFA members aspiring to pursue a career in agricultural education. Congrats to all!
Shining the spotlight on Student of the Week, sophomore Ava K! Nominated by Dr. Faziani, because she is always engaged and friendly. Additionally, she is always willing to participate and make sure that her peers understand the material in a group or whole-class activity. Plus, she is open to new and challenging ideas in the classroom. Ava is a member of the Ovid-Elsie Girls Varsity Soccer team. In her free time, she enjoys baking, reading, and spending time with friends and family. She’s maintained a 3.9 GPA. After high school, she plans to attend college but is currently undecided about her field of study.
