Can a student be A FIREWORK… in Middle School? STUDENTS who shine – STUDENTS who standout – STUDENTS who make a difference!
Mrs. Rohrer’s G21 project this year was to recognize students who make a real difference in OUR WORLD! Mrs. Rohrer’s art class created ceramic medallions to be presented to students that made a difference this year. Students were nominated by teachers, staff and other students in the following areas: Dedication to Helping others; Taking a stand against Bullying; Being a Role Model for others; Having a Positive Attitude; and, Outstanding Achievement. Award winners received a ceramic - FIREWORK - a cash prize and their name on a permanent ” FIREWORK” wall display at GMS!
Our GMS Firework Student Winners for 2012-2013 are:
For DEDICATION TO HELPING OTHERS: DAVID TREMAIN
For TAKING A STAND AGAINST BULLYING: CHLOE LYDA
For BEING A ROLE MODEL: NATASHA TYRELL
For HAVING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE: RILEY POWERS
For OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT: LILLY MILLER
A big congratulations and many thanks go out to each of these bright and shining FIREWORKS of GMS. Check Mrs. Rohrer’s blog for more information.
