Our students are learning more, growing more and achieving more in our classrooms than they could anywhere else! Each school day, we celebrate one student nominated for their excellence by a teacher. Today’s Student of the Day is Oak Grove ES STEAM Academy first-grader Za’eem Abdullah! He was nominated by teacher Christine Carter: “Za’eem is a bright young man with an even brighter smile. He loves to participate in classroom discussions and help fellow classmates whenever he can.” #CCSDElevateTheExcellence
