The Golden Eagle Award for the week of September 30th is Abby Canfield! Abby is nominated for demonstrating strong character, achievement, and leadership in the classroom. She consistently comes to class ready to work, stays focused, and takes pride in what she is doing. Recently, while the teacher was busy assisting other students, she independently recognized that several classmates needed help and stepped in to support them. She understood the project well enough to guide others and did so without being asked.
She has also gone above and beyond by taking on an independent study in an area where we do not currently have an established course. She has been willing to help build the learning experience alongside the teacher, taking on additional challenges and opportunities that will help prepare her for college. Her initiative, independence, willingness to help others, and commitment to her own growth are wonderful examples of what it means to SOAR.

Eighth grade student Garrett Pragle was looking for a community-based service project to fulfill his National Junior Honor Society requirements. He decided to partner with Vincent House during Spirit Week by bringing their gently used shoe drive to the Wayland campus.
Throughout Spirit Week, Garrett promoted the shoe drive through school announcements and posters and placed collection boxes in each of the school offices. Thanks to the generosity of the Wayland community, donations poured in throughout the week.
When Garrett collected the boxes on Friday, he was amazed to discover that he had gathered 125 pairs of shoes to contribute to the Vincent House shoe drive! Garrett then bundled and bagged the shoes and, with the help of his family, delivered the donations to Vincent House.
Thank you, Garrett, for your initiative, leadership, and commitment to serving your community! You are a wonderful example of how one person can make a meaningful difference

FIND IT FRIDAY! The lost and found piles are already growing in our school buildings.
