Principal Gregg Bruno dressed up with colorful wings, a pink and purple skirt and colorful pink and blue wig to introduce the battles. But nothing could compare to the students’ excitement of being able to “GOOP” their principal and one teacher after reaching their reading goals for March.

They didn’t like how it looked or how it felt and that is just the reaction high school demonstrators were hoping to see.
Friendship Bracelets Remind Students to Be Kind Choosing words like loving, caring, respectful, positive, trustworthy and nice, Page students created their own friendship bracelets as a reminder to be kind.
