CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. Wong

Mr. Wong was nominated by a recent Incentive graduate for being an exemplary role model and for being a dedicated and inspiring teacher. The countless hours Mr. Wong has committed behind the scenes to support the Incentive program, the Incentive students, and the Palmer staff and community is a testament to his caring and kind nature.
