Celebration of our students is an important part of student growth and building up each of their strengths. Awards and Honors are given to those who have worked hard as an encouragement to keep learning and developing. It is important to challenge each of our students to strive to do their best in everything while giving them a sound work ethic.
The Christian Witness Award is a monthly award based upon the Christian behaviors displayed inside and outside of the classroom by the children. The children are recognized based upon their positive attitude to do their best and willingness to display God’s love.
To have grit means you have courage and show the strength of character. A person with true grit has passion and perseverance. Goals are set and followed through. A person who works really hard to follow through on commitments has true grit. A student with grit demonstrates persistence and resilience. Persistence is that drive that helps you keep working even when you want to quit. Persistence is important to get you through the challenge and because often spending the time and effort when it's needed keeps you from a more difficult outcome later. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from stress, adversity, failure, or challenges. It’s not something that people either have or don’t have; it’s a skill that people develop as they grow. Once a month, teachers nominate students for the Got Grit Award.
