Last night I helped to host an awards ceremony and dinner for our senior students. I have worked with them for four years as a Crew advisor and have gotten to know many more through teaching them in Algebra and Geometry classes. It was a pleasure to finally see their faces as they came up to the stage to take well-deserved awards home with them.
My grade team spent a good amount of time deliberating who should earn what. There were many awards that we found deeply meaningful and some that weren't. In the end, we found that all the awards we got to choose went to students who earned them with their own powerful work. Some were fancier titles than others, but all made sense. It was really nice to be there and see families and friends cheer on each student who got an award last night.
