7th
Grade Awards
Each quarter,
seventh grade students are recognized for their accomplishments by their team
of teachers. The teams of teachers discuss students during their meetings
and the teachers make selections based upon those group discussions.
The 7th grade
teams will be honoring four students per team who exemplify Viking Values every
marking period. This replaces the Quarterly Character Awards given in past
years. Each team of teachers voted on students based on the Viking Values. The
four values are courage, respect, integrity, and responsibility. Students who
win the VIP award display the courage to do the right thing when no one is
watching, treat others with respect, demonstrate responsibility, and act with
integrity. This award recognizes the actions of the true VIP’s at William
Annin. The seventh grade teachers are proud of these students and their
accomplishments and recognize their efforts at making our community a better
place.
