Mrs. Curtis, our school counselor, and Mrs. Stokes, our assistant principal, rolled out the red carpet today for some TRUSTWORTHY Manatees during the Character Counts celebration! These students were handpicked by their homeroom teachers for being shining stars of trustworthiness in the classroom, on the playground, and all over the campus. We're bursting with pride for these amazing students!
