My Students

We in the school Renaissance program and School Climate Committee are working diligently to make great improvements to our school and community through focused academics, socio-political action, and a renewed focus on rewarding and highlighting those who overcome obstacles to succeed.

It is a challenge to push kids who see resources heaped on those who DON'T try, while they receive so little recognition for doing the RIGHT thing.Sadly these amazing young people are rarely the focus in a world that so routinely shifts its attention to problems rather than praising hard work and excellence.

For that reason, every spring I, along with some other dedicated teachers and administrators, organize an award luncheon for "Super Students" at our school- those with at least a 4.0 GPA, with no lateness, disciplinary referrals, or absences; they are truly the best we have, and many of them overcome a litany of difficulties to be that way. Our rewards luncheon is simple - kids win supplies and gifts that are useful in their academic exploits, but at the same time this is an opportunity for them to see that we DO appreciate their efforts and laud them for their excellence.

My Project

My students need a variety of prizes to include water bottles, chargers, t-shirts, and academic items. They are ecstatic to receive any prize, and the sense of a spotlight they get for the day is one they look forward to all year.
