Willowbrook presents Outstanding Students and Outstanding Teacher awards on Oct. 17, 2013

On Oct. 17, 10 Willowbrook students were recognized as Outstanding Students during a breakfast in their honor.

To be chosen for that award, students must demonstrate extraordinary achievement, outstanding effort, commendable attitude and motivation, ability to overcome obstacles and continuous exemplary performance.

During the event, Willowbrook Principal Dan Krause and Willowbrook Assistant Principal Ann Kimpton welcomed the students, their families and the staff members who nominated them. The students were then recognized and given a certificate in honor of their efforts.

Willowbrook math teacher Steve Bridges received the Outstanding Teacher award and was presented by Willowbrook senior Lukas Wiedman.

To earn the Outstanding Teacher award, a staff member must treat teaching as a passion – not just a job, create a positive learning environment where students feel encouraged and supported, use a variety of strategies to engage students, be willing to offer extra support when needed, provide prompt and effective feedback to students on their learning and relate to and understand students’ viewpoints and perspectives.
