Students Shine During Friday Spotlight
Cumberland

Spotlight Friday at Cumberland Elementary School is a weekly activity that highlights something special each student worked on that week.

Special Education Teacher Ms. Megan O'Donnell said Spotlight Friday celebrates individual accomplishments and gives classmates a chance to cheer one another on.

Some of the accomplishments could include helping a fellow classmate with something or making progress in their classwork.

Each of the students has the opportunity to go to the front of the class to share their accomplishment with their peers.
