Each week, our teachers nominate students for the Friday Firebird Award. This award is given to students who set a wonderful example by demonstrating one of the Habits of Mind!
Jonnae J., a 9th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Ms. Seneca shared, "Jonnae is working hard to have remarkable grades in all of her classes. We see you and are so proud of you, Jonnae!”
Riley B., a 9th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Dr. Innocenti shared, "Riley closed out the first quarter with the highest grade in her college history class. She ran through the material with tremendous endurance and achieved a personal record! Great work, Riley!”
Sadie L., an 11th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Mrs. Davies shared, “Sadie always shows up to math class and tries. When she has a question, she will work until she gets an answer that makes sense. Even more impressive is how Sadie balances her academic commitments with her extracurricular ones. When the math test date changed to the middle of the fall play run, Sadie planned ahead and handled it professionally. Well done, Sadie!”
Brynlea H., a 9th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Mrs. Dow shared, “Brynlea consistently shows up for her math classmates by gently offering help and further explanation when she sees they are struggling to grasp the concepts. She does this with kindness, compassion, and caring. She is an incredible Firebird community member with her many strengths and always reaches out to help others.”
Julian M., an 11th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Mrs. Dow shared, “I was with a student in the Firebird facility, and we were struggling with accomplishing a task. Julian stepped away from his work, unprompted, in order to help us. He was incredibly kind, patient, and caring in his communication. He went out of his way to get the information we needed and tried several approaches to solving the problem. I was most impressed by the grace he showed the student in need; it was clear he wanted to help and was determined to reduce a classmate's stress. Way to go, Julian!”
Maverick B., a 9th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Mrs. Dow shared, “Maverick is a student who takes immediate action to be helpful and to contribute. Whenever he sees me with my hands full or needing anything in class, he steps in without hesitation and volunteers to help, whether it's holding the door, grabbing things to lighten my load, or offering to take things to the office. I know I can always count on him to be a helper. Further, he is kind and respectful to his classmates. He is an awesome Firebird!”
