Haven M., an 8th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Her teachers shared, "Haven truly makes our classrooms a better place to be! She goes out of her way to help others, especially in math, when it would be easy to finish her own work and move on. Instead, she takes the time to help classmates, explain her thinking, and make sure others feel confident and supported. She is responsible, respectful, and always willing to do what is asked of her. She works hard and genuinely wants to improve, even when challenged. Her positive attitude and willingness to help others make a big difference. Because of her, our classrooms feel more welcoming, encouraging, and supportive. She leads by example, showing what it means to be a Firebird. Congratulations, Haven!"
