We've got Cougar Pride!

While Crystal Middle School proudly proclaims itself the "Pride of Suisun," we've got a bit of Cougar pride as well.

For the next couple of weeks, the City Hall lobby will host a collection of student posters portraying various elements of just what it means to have PRIDE:

• Perseverance
• Respect
• Integrity
• Discipline
• Excellence

An initiative of Principal Dave Marshall, the Pride program instills in students a foundation of principles that will serve them well not only in middle school but for years to come.

We applaud all the students who took the time to create their thoughtful posters.

Come by City Hall anytime Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (until 7 p.m. on Tuesdays) and check out the art, and be inspired by Suisun City's kids!

UPDATE: The Daily Republic ran a nice story on the Crystal Middle School PRIDE program on A1 Monday Sept. 29, 2008. Visit www.dailyrepublic.com to check it out.
