LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - It’s that time of year again! KGNS+ has launched its annual 8th Grader of the Month recognition.
In partnership with the Laredo Police Department and local sponsors, your Good Neighbor Station hosts a monthly ceremony honoring eighth-grade students from across the area.
Wednesday’s event marked the first ceremony of the school year, where students received medals, certificates, and gift bags.
“I study a lot! Even when I have extracurricular activities, I make sure to study,” one honoree told KGNS.
The program recognizes students for their hard work and gives the community an opportunity to celebrate their success.
