ELIZABETH SNYDER, CITIZEN OF THE WEEK. This week’s Panorama Schools citizen of the week is a very hard worker and always treats her class mates with respect. She goes the extra mile to ensure everyone is included at recess and is a very caring friend to everyone in our class. I can count on this student to be responsible with her belongings and to turn her work in on time. This student has a great attitude and never gives up!
