Eli Ben, Hope Springate, & John Nelson showed TEAMWORK when they volunteered to help out at Visual Arts night! Way to go team!!

Katie Hendry has shown amazing TEAMWORK. She has gone above and beyond this week in helping the ensemble. Right now, we are working really hard preparing for our Disney Competition, so I have given the students not going on the trip an assignment to do in the Chorus room. Katie has chosen to divide her time by sitting and listen to the orchestra play while not working on her paper. She is taking notes in the back of the room and offering advice on how to make the group sound better in a positive and encouraging way. I did not ask her to do any of this, but I truly appreciate the extra effort and motivation!

Bryce Estes and Kevin King showed INTEGRITY when they spoke to the 8th grade about expectation in the Upper School.
