Pickaway-Ross' GRIT program continued with more than three dozen kids selected as a GRIT student of the week. Some have been nominated — and selected — more than once.
Staff members nominated students whom they saw as exemplifying the tenets of the program: gratitude, respect, initiative and tenacity.
Students were able to select a GRIT-themed prize each time they win. Prize options were a hat, tumbler, lanyard, carabiner, charger and GRIT patch.
