Southdown Presents November’s Splash Awards

Southdown Primary School Principal Jill Amott-Erwig presented November’s Splash Awards to a happy group of youngsters.

The students were recognized for their overall effort and performance in classrooms and all around the building and school grounds.

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,” the principal said. Teachers and parents are just as proud of them and so is Ms. Amott-Erwig.

November’s Splash Award recipients include:

Universal Pre-Kindergarten: Stella Rosas, Emily Venture; Kindergarten: Marianela Licona Santos, Matteo Nunez, Melanie Taliento, Genevieve Saks, Stella Masone; First Grade: Mateo Rivera Lazo, Emelyn Jennings, Yamileth Peraza Sibrian, Genesis Saravia Chavez; Second Grade: Kylie Araujo Hernandez, Vivian Golden, Wesley O’Dwyer, Marlenis Ulloa Doblado; Third Grade: Harry Ortiz Moz, Carter Paiz, Valentina Evans.

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 ineracting with their teachers. They are enthusiastic, inquisitive and respectful boys and girls who take delight in being members of the Southdown School community.
