Bemiss Elementary School students were recently honored when their school was named a 2011 Title I Washington State Distinguished School by the state superintendent’s office. The students’ outstanding achievement in math earned Bemiss a $5,000 award.
“In partnership with our students and their families, our Bemiss staff remains committed to providing whatever it takes to continue our goal of assisting every student, every day, in fostering positive student achievement,” Bemiss Principal Jennifer Keck said in a press release. “We understand it takes a village to support our kids.”
