I would love to nominate Brayden Grubham as scholar of the week. I cannot tell you how proud I am of what Brayden has accomplished in Info Tech second semester. Adjusting to the demands of high school responsibilities was not easy for this young man and my class was a challenge for him in the first semester; but let me tell you, he got things figured out this semester. Brayden is completing his work on time. He is being proactive about getting work done before he is gone for school events. He is producing good work. He is doing this all independently. I am sure that I am not the only teacher seeing Brayden’s growth this school year! Brayden, you are doing a fabulous job, keep up the good work, and thank you for all of your effort! - Alana Cardinal, Business Teacher
