Sweet Home Junior High has inaugurated a new award: Student of the Month.
Principal Mark Looney said one student from each home room, selected by the home room teacher, will be honored each month.
It’s an effort to re-establish normalcy as students progress from the coronavirus pandemic experience, he said.
“What we’re looking for, the more we can say we are in a normal year, the better we can become,” Looney said.
The award will be based on the demonstration of qualities such as respect, kindness and compassion, etc., Looney said.
October’s quality was responsibility.
“We’re back, we’re normal and we’re open,” Looney said.
