Intentional Acts of Kindness Winners
Our school was chosen by Big O Tires to nominate ten students on campus that show "Intentional Acts of Kindness". Those students were given four tickets to the Arizona Diamondbacks game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, April 22nd. In addition to attending the game, each student received a T-shirt and walked in the "Big O Tires, Big Shots at the Ballpark Parade". Congratulations to the Diamondbacks for winning 11-5, and congratulations to our Pirates for having great character! We are proud of you for your kindness.
