During the ceremony, Berry took a moment to thank the Middle School Student Council for their outstanding work this year: “This year, students had to be creative, resilient, and flexible, given the ever-changing conditions of the year. Under the leadership of Faculty Advisor Mrs. Westerberg-Egan, these students went above and beyond to create meaningful and fun experiences for our students. Thank you for creating incredible community bonding and community building events.”
