 This week’s student of the week is Ah-ny-ja Jones.  Ah-ny-ja was nominated by Ms. Malagari because Ah-ny-ja comes to class each day ready to learn. She does not let personal problems or outside factors impact her progress and efforts to participate in class. Ah-ny-ja is studious, hardworking and respectful to those she interacts with. Continue making positive choices and putting your education first each and every day! As this week’s students of the week, Ah-ny-ja will receive a cookie from Ms. Clabaugh and one free admission to an Oakdale High School event.  Way to go!
