Washington Primary School presented its January student awards to 17 excited youngsters spread across kindergarten through third grade.
Washington students love academic challenges. The subject doesn’t really matter. They are up for tackling any topic and work hard to master it.
Principal Michelle Richards recently announced the names of January’s Washington Ways Award winners. They are an outstanding group of youngsters, who are all working hard in their classes and displaying exemplary behavior all over the building – even outside on the playground.
January’s honorees include Ava Georgia, Savannah Barahona, Mila Aydagul, Yaretzi Guiterrez, Alianis Ciuro, Delanie Foote, Fiona Hennings, Timothy Evernham, Khenan Brown, Ava Henry, Crystal Valle Herrera, Arya Aydagul, Rylan Roberts, Abby Moreira Quintanilla, Leo Affa, Audrey Jenkins and Liliana Rivera Umanzor.
The entire classes of teachers Tina Laurie and Joanne McGuiness-Tures were recognized as January’s Blue Ticket Award honorees.
“We are delighted with these children and classes and with all of our students who have helped make this school year special despite the ongoing pandemic,” Dr. Richards said.
Here’s how the Washington Ways program works:
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.
Red tickets are presented to individuals for notable good behavior outside of classrooms, including in 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.
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.
