Earlier today, middle and high school students attended an assembly where students were rewarded for their hard work in both the 2nd 9 Weeks and the month of December. Certificates were awarded to all students who had academic success and earned either Principal's List for All A's or A-B Honor Roll. Teachers also nominated and voted on students in both middle and high school who have best exemplified what it means to be a Gueydan Bear, and each grade had a December Student of the Month.
Middle School Students of the Month: Jaylin Lege (6th), Logan Badon (7th), Keyonna Alex (8th)
High School Students of the Month: Jacklyn Romero (9th), Ally Benoit (10th, not pictured), Lakelyn Bruce (11th), Alex Richard (12th)
Congratulations to all these outstanding students on their accomplishments!
