Very proud of you young lady. Only Move Forward!!!
Jessica White is an exceptional young lady, a fine student, and an emerging leader. She cares about her family and her community, and has demonstrated this in so many ways. I am so are very proud of her and so glad to here about this award!
YAY JESSICA! Don’t know her but sounds like she’s quite the young lady!!
We are all proud of her and the Petersburg City Public Schools appreciates the Petersburg People’s News for publishing this announcement.
Some “traditional” media outlets ignore these announcements that we send, which is a disservice to the students as well as to the rest of the community.
Please excuse poor spelling/grammar in post #3(rushing to post before meetings)!
Again, congrats to Jessica and thank you PPN for the word on this good news.
