#Outstanding Congratulations to Mrs. April Carlett for being honored with the Gananda PTO's first staff recognition award. Mrs. Carlett was nominated by a STUDENT who wrote: “I would like to nominate Mrs.Carlett. I would like to nominate her because whenever I seem to be around her she is always very nice and is always in a positive mood. I have also noticed that she usually invites some of the other sixth grade teachers to eat lunch with her. This is why Mrs. Carlett should be nominated in the Staff Recognition Program.” | #Driven Congratulations to Boys Varsity Basketball coach, Jeff Thomson, for achieving his 300th career win last Friday!
