The Pirate Pride winner for the week of March 3rd is sophomore is Kayla Armstrong! Mrs. Erin Voight, Kayla's English teacher, had nominated her saying, "Kayla always takes the lead to welcome new students to our class.

We too admire her daily kindness and spirit of cooperation and we are pleased to be able to present Kayla with this award.
