Polk Central School teachers recently named their choices for Terrific Kids for January.
Terrific Kids is a program sponsored by the Tryon Kiwanis Club to honor and recognize students who are respectful, kind and responsible. Each month a different character trait is emphasized at the school. For January the trait is integrity.
