Mary M. Knight OWLS Celebrate Week of March 18-21 GRIT Award Winners
At Mary M. Knight School, we're proud to recognize our students who demonstrate GRIT - Growth, Resilience, Intensity, and Tenacity. These weekly awards celebrate students who face challenges head-on and embody our school's commitment to "Nurturing Resilience, Inspiring Excellence."
This Week's GRIT Award Recipients
Kindergarten Stars
Two of our youngest OWLS have shown remarkable determination this week. Harper Finch has demonstrated strong GRIT in both social-emotional learning and academics. Her strong will helps her persevere even when she needs time to process her feelings, and she continues to improve at expressing herself verbally with classmates. Way to go, Harper, for not giving up even when things get really challenging!
Tristen Ushman continues to excel academically while showing GRIT in social situations. With his great sense of humor and growing confidence to speak up and make his voice heard, Tristen is demonstrating that persistence pays off. Keep up the fantastic work, Tristen!
5th Grade Achievement
James Koonrad has shown tremendous growth in reading this year. After facing early challenges, James is now working diligently and demonstrating a deeper understanding of reading concepts. His willingness to participate in class discussions and share his ideas, even when uncertain about his wording, shows true GRIT. James's great ideas shine through as he continues to build his reading skills.
Building Character Through GRIT
These students exemplify what it means to be Mary M. Knight OWLS - they embrace challenges, demonstrate resilience, apply focused intensity to their work, and show tenacity when facing difficulties.
As we continue through the 2024-25 school year with our focus on "Nurturing Resilience, Inspiring Excellence," these weekly recognitions highlight the everyday moments of growth and character development happening throughout our school community.
Congratulations to Harper, Tristen, and James on your well-deserved GRIT awards! Your dedication to personal growth and positive contributions make our school community stronger every day.
