Willowbrook presents Outstanding Students and Outstanding Teacher awards

On Feb. 18, 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 Assistant Principal Doug Wildes welcomed the recipients and their families, as well as the staff members who nominated them. The students were then recognized and given a certificate in honor of their efforts.

The Outstanding Students are:
Art: Senior Natalie Caswell

Willowbrook social studies teacher Chuck Sheridan received the Outstanding Teacher award and was presented by junior Milena Sogura. 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 the viewpoints and perspectives of students.
