End of school awards

Saying Goodbye Each of the students at Lime Springs-Chester Elementary put a hand-print on a poster as a going-away gift for Principal Rob Hughes. Due to budget cuts, his position was eliminated.

For the last time, Principal Robert Hughes congratulated the students on their efforts to achieve greatness in the prior year. (Hughes’ position was terminated due to budget cuts.)

Some classrooms gave their awards in class, but others recognized their students at the assembly on May 27.

The first class to be recognized was Mrs. Adams’ math class. Those going above and beyond their fellow students were Shannon Pisney and Amiah DeWolf. Fourth grader Amiah was already studying half-way into fifth grade and fifth grader Shannon was already into seventh grade curriculum.
