Southdown Primary School’s Star Students Recognized

Southdown Primary School honored its star students in September with Splash Awards for a job well done. The youngsters were thrilled to be recognized for their effort and performance in and out of classrooms.

“Southdown students and staff have been making a splash into the new school year,” Principal Jill Amott-Erwig said. “Everyone has been eager to be back in school and learning.”

The Splash Awards are named for the school’s mascot; a dolphin, which is well known for splashing water on anyone nearby.

Splash Award recipients are essentially Southdown’s Stars of the Month. They are a wonderful group of boys and girls who are proud of their work and school. Teachers and parents are just as proud of them and so is Ms. Amott-Erwig.

September’s honorees include:

Universal Pre-Kindergarten: Jack Kozak, Addison Albert

Kindergarten: Maya Fattore, Victoria Pineda, Parker Grieco, Sage Flor

First Grade: Katherine “Coco” Duffy, Emmy Schwarz, Emily Felico

Second Grade: Matteo Nunez, Mayrose Benitez Obando, Benjamin Lovelace, Naomi Maehr

Third Grade: Sofia Ni Bhroin McNamee, Yamileth Peraza Sibrian, Julianna Avila Lopez, Genesis Saravia Chavez

The award winners couldn’t be happier. Like anyone else, they enjoy getting a pat on the back for a job well done. They are working hard and they love coming to school and interacting with their teachers. They are enthusiastic, inquisitive and respectful boys and girls who take delight in being members of the Southdown School community.
