The Byron-Bergen Jr./Sr. High School Collaborative Improvement Team, comprised of teachers, students, community members, and Board of Education representatives, present a “School-Community Partnership Award” every semester recognizing students for their contributions to the Byron-Bergen community. This special award was created in an effort to highlight students who choose to “go the extra mile,” therefore distinguishing them as “ambassadors” in the school community. Whether it is volunteering, mentoring, coaching, or some other action inside or outside of the classroom, these students have demonstrated concern for others.
The Collaborative Improvement Team received several nominations for the 2014-15 first semester awards and recognized junior Aaries Fitzsimmons and senior Danny Khomitch. Aaries has a “heart of gold” and volunteered a great deal of time at the 6th annual Christmas Angel Festival which is a fundraiser to benefit Genesee Cancer Assistance. Always seen with a smile on her face, Aaries enjoys dancing and helping her dance instructor teach the younger students. Danny is captain of the Wrestling Team and has been a role model and leader to other wrestlers. Danny’s actions have made a positive impact on his peers, pushing them to do well and make good decisions.
Nomination forms for this special award can be found on the Byron-Bergen Jr./Sr. High School website www.bbschools.org and in the Sr. High School Office.
