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!
Alexis W., a 10th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Ms. Seneca shared, “Lexi has been a great peer leader in Sources of Strength this year. She spent her off-block helping to complete a project for our next campaign. Lexi is kind, respectful, and just an overall joy to be around. I appreciate you, Lexi!”
Hailey S., a 12th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Dr. Kingsley shared, “Hailey recently demonstrated honesty, personal integrity, and assumed responsibility for a choice she made. She carefully considered the ramifications of her decision, and the the impact it would have on others. Great job, Hailey!”
Robert D., a 9th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Dr. Innocenti shared, “Robert superbly managed his ‘subordinates’ during his college world history course when engaging in a World War II wargame. Robert never panicked as the chief of staff of the Soviet team despite losing Leningrad, Moscow, and Sevastopol in quick succession. Instead, he continued to give clear and precise orders to his teammates to rescue the situation. As a result, Robert's team managed to recover from their initial military disasters to stabilize the strategic position. Robert's performance also closely mirrored that of the actual Red Army, which struggled early in the war but eventually learned how to fight more effectively. Thus, the instructor could easily connect what happened in the wargame to what happened in reality at places like Stalingrad. I am very proud of both Robert's leadership abilities and his management of a complex theater of operations. Good work, Robert! “
Amber B., a 9th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Mrs. Holt shared, “Amber is a positive and thoughtful person who frequently asks if I need help both at the desk and with concessions. I appreciate her willingness to assist with tasks! Thank you, Amber!
