Each week, students are nominated by our teachers to receive a Friday Firebird Award. This award is given to students who set a wonderful example by demonstrating one of the Habits of Mind!
Tyler S. was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Mrs. Holt shared, "A new student moved into our class and was seated next to Tyler. Tyler has been welcoming and kind and patiently explains what we're doing in class, including both class structure and class content. He has put the new student at ease and is a natural and effective tutor. Keep being awesome, Tyler - you make a difference!"
Madeline M. was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Mrs. Holt shared, "Several new students were moved into my class two weeks into the semester and needed to catch up. When I reached out to a few students to work with them, Maddie was one of the first ones to respond. She was kind and gracious to the student she was working with, clear in her explanations, and very supportive of her needs. Great job being a kind and welcoming new friend, Maddie! We are so lucky to have you at WCA!"
Chloe P. was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Dr. Innocenti shared, "Chloe has made a significant effort to meet the course requirements for her first college history course. She repeatedly met with the instructor to refine her approach to the course homework. She asks inquisitive questions to better understand the heightened expectations of this class. She contributes to the understanding of the people around her. Keep up the good work!"
