We had a great time celebrating Mrs. Davis' class for earning the highest attendance average for January! We celebrate attendance because research continues to show that students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. Thank you to all of our Pearl families for partnering with us in our attendance efforts!
