Congratulations to Karsin Shephard, Student of the Week for September 23, 2024! Mrs. Moots says-- "Karsin is one of the hardest-working students I know. If he does something incorrectly, he makes sure to fix it and learn from it. I can always count on him for a funny comment to keep me on my toes. I love having Karsin in class! He is a great kid!"
