Finley-Sharon "Above & Beyond" is something our school does each quarter. This is a time when students' acts of kindness & extra efforts are recognized by teachers noting these efforts and sending parents postcards in the mail describing the ways their student has gone above & beyond. Those names are collected and two winners are drawn; each receives a Starbucks gift card. Congrats to Sophia Campbell, has been working hard and is very dedicated to doing well in class. Also to Tyler Moore, who has been working extra hard on learning to play guitar. Congrats, students!
Q1 Students of the Quarter were announced today. F-S high school students are nominated by the teachers, based on a variety of criteria including class participation, leadership qualities, attitude, cooperativeness, & helpfulness. Our nominees were Lucas Rayner, Tim Young, Tyler Moore, Sophia Campbell, Tristan Bremer, Dusty Moore, Damien Evenson, Anna Smith, Jillian Larson, and Bryce Juliuson. Congratulations to our winners-Grades 7-9: Kiaza Carlson & Gage Geier; Grades 10-12: Kasey Dosch & Doug Geier. Prizes for the 2021-22 Students of the Quarter are sponsored by Bravera Bank in Finley!
The end of the quarter means that our students choose the Teacher of the Quarter! Students in grades 7-12 were able to nominate a teacher and give their reasons why. Our winner this quarter is Miss Sarah Scheitel! Miss Scheitel is creative, very understanding, makes learning fun, is always willing to help out when asked, shows interest in her students, uses a variety of teaching methods to help us learn, cheerful and makes everyone happy, always willing to answer questions, and is organized & enthusiastic. Congrats, Miss Scheitel. She is pictured with Student Body President, Doug Geier!
