April Character word of the month was diligence. We had many students recognized for showing diligence. Diligence is when an individual puts consistent effort into their work. A diligent person is someone who is hardworking, thorough, and persistent in their efforts to achieve a goal. Help us in celebrating these students for showing diligence.
