Washington School Recognizes Top June Students
In the waning hours of the school year, with just a handful of hours to go on the last day, Washington Primary School took the time to honor its top June students.
The honorees included Josselin Escobar-Morales, Michelle Oliva, Michael DeBellis, Brody Gordon, Talia Addeo, Jonah Gillenwater, Sofia Lopez, Anthony Villatoro, Abby Lewis, Finn Cocoman, Spencer Login, Aidan Bender, Nathaniel Otto, Gracie Renkewitz, Jason Alvarez, Elmer Aparacio, Kimberly Valle and Elizabeth Dugan. The morning kindergarten classes of teachers Deborah Quiles and Melissa Lang were recognized.
This marks the close of the second year of the Washington Ways student recognition program. Red tickets are presented to individuals for notable good behavior outside of classrooms, including hallways, buses, the playground and cafeteria, etc. At the end of the month, the student in each class with the greatest number of red tickets is recognized with a special certificate.
White tickets are awarded weekly for good behaviors and actions in the classroom. White ticket winners are honored with special recognition in their classroom at the end of each week and their names are announced every Monday morning.
Entire classes can earn blue tickets for positive group behavior out-of-the-classroom. Blue tickets are also awarded to the two classes within the building with the most tickets overall.
"We enjoyed another great year at Washington," Principal Martha Neville said. "Our top students were delighted to be recognized and honored each month. We hope everyone has a wonderful summer and returns to school in September ready to learn!"
