Student, staff of six weeks chosen

By Donnie A. Lucas

The first Staff Member and Student of the Six Weeks  for the 2021-2022 school year were named at the secondary campus earlier this week.

Seventh grader Adrian Wren was selected as the first student to be recognized, while new junior high science teacher Michelle Lowrey was chosen as the staff member.

Principal Glen Hill made the announcement on Tuesday, along with crediting the Albany Academic Booster Club with providing the prizes.

The student will be given a pair of Apple earpods, while the teacher receives $50 in cash.

“I was looking for something to highlight the positive at our campus, so I asked the teachers for input,” Hill said. “This recognition was suggested.”

The principal said that students and teachers are nominated with an online form during WIN time, with a selection committee reviewing those suggested.

“We had about 40 nominations for the student and almost that many for the teacher award,” Hill said. “We also pick some of the comments about the winners to print out for the recipients, so they can see what students and teachers have said.”

Hill said that the winners for each six-weeks period will be announced at the beginning of the next grading period.
