Two middle school awards were presented Friday, May 12. Caloosa Middle School student Berenice Sanchez was described by faculty as a student leader when she received her award. Makayla Mitchell, eighth grade student at Trafalgar Middle School, has a positive attitude, maturity and excels in whatever she attempts, staff said.
