CSNC Proud

• Rachel Valentin, Elementary Principal,  and LaRetha Odumosu PhD, Middle Principal  - “Inches and Miles” Award
• Christine Labaze, 4th Grade Teacher - Elementary Dedication Award
• Nicholas Medaglio, Managing Director of Finance and Operations - Delaware Homeland Security Compliance Award
