Principal Mohip Thanks Devers Group for Being a Champion for Higher Test Scores
Mr. Devers,
I recently received the results of Walsh's ISAT's and I was very pleased. The school has it's highest scores ever. The only reason this was possible was because our 3rd grade increased its results from the mid to low 40's to the low to mid 70's percentiles. While I would love to take all the credit, I simply cannot. I know that Urban Initiatives had a major impact on our scores and student achievement. The work to play aspect of the program motivated my students to do do their best everyday. I also know that a healthy body helps increase a healthy mind.

I do hope to see you soon and please consider being a Principal for a Day again in October.
Sincerely,
Krish Mohip
Principal Walsh School
