Fifth graders at Persistence Preparatory Academy in Buffalo just hit a major milestone—receiving their first blue blazers in a ceremony that rivals the tradition of medical students’ white coats. The blazer isn’t just a uniform; it’s a symbol of pride, growth, and community. This year’s class stood out with impressive state test scores—63% proficient in ELA and 80% in math, making them some of Buffalo’s top young scholars. It’s a proud moment for these students, their families, and the East Side community. What do you think about schools celebrating academic growth with traditions like this? #Education #BuffaloNY #CommunityPride
