Friday Firebird Awards

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!

Connor C., a 9th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Dr. Innocenti shared, “Connor drastically improved his writing style in his college history course this semester. He took the time to regrade two independent writing projects. He worked closely with the instructor to achieve clarity of language through strong sources. His third and final paper in the fall semester demonstrated a willingness to improve!”


Autumn S., a 10th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Dr. Innocenti and Mr. Ramming shared, “Autumn competed in an intense Speech and Debate Tournament and a strenuous basketball game last week.
