Student Of The Month Story

The student of the month is a new tradition at Bowie High school. Where every month, one student gets recognized for their outstanding work in the classrooms. This month, Grace Johnson got chosen as student of the month by her teachers. When Johnson found out she got student of the month, she was ecstatic and smiling the whole day. “I couldn’t believe I was chosen. It’s so great that all my hard work paid off in the end,” Johnson said. Johnson struggled with Algebra, but was able to pull through and get straight A’s in all her classes.
