Congratulations to Abby F. on being a recipient of the BOE's Cougar Pride Award! Abby was nominated by Virginia Kukaj-Hartman & Amy Visca who noted the following, "Abby has also demonstrated incredible spirit and commitment through her participation in the Polar Plunge for the past two years. Her compassion and dedication to supporting the Special Olympics are clear in the enthusiasm she brings to the event each year. Abby doesn’t just take the plunge in the freezing water, she arrives fully dressed in fun costumes (this year, an inflatable polar bear), bringing energy and excitement that encourages others to get involved. Her willingness to support such an important cause while spreading positivity and school spirit makes her a wonderful example of leadership and kindness in our high school community. On top of all of this Abby is a stellar French student and an important member of the yearbook club. To know Abby is to adore her!" #WeAreHFL
