The Sturgis Elementary School and the Sturgis Composite High School acknowledged the students and staff during the Education Week pancake breakfast on October 21. The SCC members joined staff members in preparing pancakes and sausages for the annual breakfast for students, bus drivers and staff at both schools.
This award is handed out every year during education week, Balysji said. This year's theme is "Celebrating Each Student."
"We take every chance to highlight your achievements and it's amazing to be able to do this in a big school division with 28 schools and students of all ages," said Balyski.
The award criteria defines a student that makes a difference, that shows respect, leadership and commitment to other students, the school and the community," he said.
Kourtney Gregory was awarded the SES Student of Distinction Award.
"She works hard every day at school and is always co-operative and pleasant. When attending to tasks her creative side shines through. She is willing to share opinions, is a good problem solver, is very helpful around school and treats others respectfully. Other students are important to her and it is shown through her patience with younger students and willingness to help individuals with special needs in the school. Kourtney is involved in volleyball, dancing and figure skating. Committing to serve as ‘Playground Pal’ this year as well as numerous years of being a crossing guard shows her level of respect and responsibility towards students," Balyski said.
