Students Honored for “Tree”mendous Character
Clark Public School District
As the first marking period has come to a close, staff at Valley Road School (VRS) were invited to nominate candidates that went above and beyond in the area of character for their “Tree”mendous Character Award.
Mrs. Sarah Badillo, a school counselor who organizes this event, stated, “This award is part of our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support) program where we try to encourage students to be their best selves and promote a positive school climate.”
Parents, grandparents, siblings, and staff members at VRS joined the students who were recognized for “Tree”mendous Character. “What I love about this award is that these kids are not doing anything above and beyond what they would normally do…they are just being themselves and to me that is what makes this award and each of them special,” Mrs. Badillo added.
Students were read the reason to why they were nominated for this award and every winner will have their picture displayed under a “tree” in the showcase at VRS for the whole marking period to recognize their “tree”mendous character.
The students recognized were Alisha Saeed, Isabella Salkins, Lorenzo Dobbins, Oliver Neree, Johnny Hoff, Max Stebbins, Jacob Aguiar, and Anthony Pelissier.
