Jarvis Middle School recognized students who demonstrated March's character theme—perseverance.

To receive the honor, students must demonstrate perseverance— the ability to keep trying to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition. Student names are announced over the daily announcements. Teachers and support staff nominate students who model the month's character theme. At the end of the month, nominated students receive a certificate, gather for a group photo, and are entered in a prize drawing for a t-shirt.

"Students were nominated for demonstrating hard work in the classroom, not giving up when faced with adversity, improving their grades, and showing growth whether academically, socially, or emotionally," said assistant principal Luke Manolescu.

"Mr. Pratt and I are encouraged to see students always rise to the challenges they are presented with and put forth their best effort. We are very pleased with their work ethic, attitudes, and effort over the past month...as are their teachers!"
