The district’s Board of Education recognized three middle school students, Ava LaBelle, Devin McNamara and David Veliz at its regular meeting on March 23.   

The students received certificates that recognized their efforts to help acclimate new students to the school and continuing a culture of warmth within their school.

“These students went above and beyond to help our new students feel welcome by showing them friendship,” said Principal Hugh Gigante. “It is the little things that make our building tick.”
