Wolf Award for Cian Todd. Cian is a very positive influence on this school. He maintains outstanding grades in the classroom, gives tennis practice and matches his all, and still manages to be one of the most polite and kind students in the school. He is always willing to help another person.
Wolf Award for Hanna Sampley. Hanna consistently brings a positive attitude to class, and provides a model example to her peers of hard work, resilience, and kindness to others.
Wolf Award for Max Jeffries. I haven’t known Max very long at all and already can tell he is hard working and enjoys learning. He brought his microscope from home to use during our lab and was very interested in seeing the differences and using it during lab. He shared it with his partner so together they could work on using the same tools but yet different styles. He even thought of myself and Mrs. Shelton and brought us sweet corn. It was nice of him to share his microscope but also share sweet corn!
Wolf Award for Wyatt Shirley. It is my pleasure to have Wyatt Shirley in two classes this year. Wyatt has had a great first month of school in both classes. He is a positive addition to the classroom and the weight room. Wyatt's work ethic has really shown through as he begins his senior year, and he is setting a good example for others.
