Bond Elementary School rewarded its students for a tremendous achievement with a huge party on Monday.
There were bounce houses, a DJ, balloons and bubbles -- you name it.
Bond Elementary was celebrating its rise to a B school for the 2021 school year. It had been a D school. Now it’s within three points of an A.
Maurice Holmes, deputy chief of the Tallahassee Police Department, says they deserve the celebration.
“Being a product of this school myself, I know the challenges they face at the school and throughout the community, so to have a celebration like this for them, to show the appreciation for them accomplishing what they accomplished, they’ll never forget it as long as they live,” Holmes said.
Bond Principal Delshuana Jackson says not only the students but the staff and community worked “extremely hard” to accomplish what they did.
