Congratulations to Maurice Brooks! He was selected as UGMS's Outstanding Student of the Week.
He was selected by Ms. Thompson.
"Maurice has made an effort to befriend and mentor my sixth graders. Anytime he sees me talking to any of my students in the hallway, he stops and visits with them. He doesn't hesitate to give them a high-five or tell them to have a good day. He stops by after school to help coach UIL at least once a week. He will work with 6th, 7th, or 8th graders. It doesn't matter to him who he works with. He just wants to help!"
This is Maurice's second award this school year!! This is an incredible accomplishment and we are extremely proud of him! Go, Maurice!!!
