Thank you to Noah White, a 5th-grader at Glen Avenue Elementary, for doing such a fantastic job of leading the Pledge of Allegiance to start the October Board of Education meeting. He approached the microphone with confidence, delivered the Pledge flawlessly, and invited everyone to be seated when he was done. Proud moment for Noah and his supporters, including his mom (in the audience) and his school. Board member Kristin Hazel presented Noah with a certificate for leading the Pledge.
