During a recent school board meeting, 55 elementary students from 16 schools were celebrated for achieving perfect scores on state assessments. The event marked the beginning of a series of recognitions planned for upcoming meetings, aimed at honoring students' academic excellence.

The ceremony featured students from various schools, including Alapata Flats, Chester A. Moore Elementary, and Lincoln Park Academy, among others. Each student received a certificate acknowledging their achievement, with principals present to support and celebrate their students. The board encouraged applause to be held until all names were announced, ensuring that each student could hear their recognition.

In addition to the student recognitions, the meeting also highlighted a special \"Star Award\" presented to Mitch Miller from the transportation department. Miller was commended for his heroic efforts during a heavy rainstorm on September 19, when he assisted stranded students on buses, demonstrating exceptional dedication and care.

The meeting concluded with gratitude expressed to the students, their families, and the schools for their contributions to academic success and community support.
