Karlee received a letter in the mail a few weeks ago telling her she will be receiving an "Unsung Hero" award this morning.
We honor and applaud the "behind the scenes" students; the unassuming helpers, the givers, those always anticipating the needs in the classroom, the activity or the sport. Your exceptional contributions have been a very meaningful part of our school life and we are honored to be able to acknowledge your commitment to making a difference in the lives of both students and staff in "North Star Country".
But the best part is on the back of the award. There is a letter from the staff member that recommend Karlee for the award.
Karlee,
Throughout my five years of teaching, I've had a decent number of students transfer in from different districts or schools, or even switch from a different class within the building. However, never before have I seen a student embrace the new opportunities in an unfamiliar place like you have. I know the experience of moving from Texas to a brand new district mid-semester was (and perhaps still is) a trying transition, but I'm so proud of you for stepping up to the plate and showing an eagerness from Day One to be a leader in our classroom. You're very intelligent, and this combined with your intrinsic curiosity and excitement for learning make you such a positive role model for our classroom. I'm also very happy that you applied for National English Honor Society, and I look forward to you spreading your optimism and enthusiasm in that venue as well!
Thank you for all that you do, and keep up the hard work!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Froemling
