We will be recognizing our Moving Up students on February 17^th during our grade level lunches.  Our Moving Up students are students who are making strides in reaching the honor roll.  They moved up a letter grade on their report card and did not drop a letter grade in any subjects or missed the honor roll by just one class with a grade of "C".
