Green Ridge students were recognized for showing determination in January. Determination is the, "never give up" attitude used to reach a goal, even when things are difficult. It means having the willpower to overcome obstacles, trying again when you fail, and staying focused on a task until it is finished. We are so proud of the determination that each of these students has shown in their school work, behavior, and in reaching their goals. Way to be GR-8!
