So Much to Celebrate

There have been a lot of wonderful things happening over the last week that are worthy of celebration.

Last Friday morning was the first Socratic Society induction ceremony of the year.  Staff members are given the opportunity to recognize students for excellence in one or more of the core Socratic values of Scholarship, Integrity, Personal Effort, Compassion, or Lifelong Learning. Students are only eligible to be selected for this honor one time during their high school career.  A special congratulations to "my" students who were among those recognized this month! (Alphabetically): Owen Alderman, Ella Bally, Kaleigh Brophy, Aidan Cameron, Jordan Castelli, Karen Chavez, Aaron Chen, Devin Coons, Chris Coppel, Jack Corcoran, Ryan Cox, Gavin Crozier, Ethan Emami, Walker Evans and Sami Fink. I am proud of each of you!

Additionally, last Friday I had the opportunity to go and see one of my students, Maxim Estevez-Curtis, perform in her Senior Solo.  Maxim has been studying viola for years and worked extensively to prepare for her performance with her solo accompanied by an orchestra.  It was incredible to see her talent on display and all of the love and support she received.

And finally, the entire Worthington School District is celebrating that both Issue 9 and Issue 10 passed yesterday.  This will help our district to meet the needs of the students now and in the future.  For me, I want to say Thank You to all of the voters who helped to keep our district strong.
