There is no better example of Tiger PRIDE than Sofia. She has the best attitude toward life and learning. Taking initiative is an innate behavior. It is not uncommon to find her researching beyond lessons taught in class or things going on in the world around us. For example, when we read an article about particles of matter in class, she followed up by looking for articles that she could read about this topic during independent work time. When her family drove through the recent tornado destruction on her way home from spring break, she began reading about what exactly caused the destruction and what the community was doing to help those in need. Not only does she learn about these events, she wants to help. When joining the Student Lighthouse Team in August, she came up with a strong desire to use this opportunity to help Ukraine. With persistence, she has rounded up the help of teachers and students to form her own action team. They synergized to create a school advertisement and a fundraiser to help people in need across the globe. Sofia knows that balance is best and her life goals always encompass taking care of her body, mind, soul and heart. She is humble. She is kind. She is creative. She is most deserving of this award!

Hanitsy is a true example of a Tiger PRIDE Champion!  Each day she goes above and beyond what is expected of her both academically and socially. Her schoolwork is always a model example of what is expected and she goes out of her way to help classmates that struggle with concepts she understands. Hanitsy serves as an ambassador in our school and never hesitates to stand up for her friends. She will be missed by many when she continues on to middle school next year, but we know she will continue to do great things!

 

Perry-Worth—Audrie Cooper

Nominated by Kurt Wayood

Audrie continually sets goals and works diligently to achieve her goals while pushing herself to be a better student.  Audrie seeks initiative in her work, always finishing her morning work on time and taking home classwork that isn't finished.  She is a dependable and trustworthy individual amongst her peer group and her teachers. If something needs to be done, Audrie is a student who can be trusted to do it well and on-time.  She treats other students with respect and even volunteers her time to assist 1st grade students and teachers in an effort to help others better.  As a fifth-grade student, she is efficient in her work and has the ability to balance her school work, extracurricular activities, friendships and family time.  Our classroom and school are both better places because of Audrie Cooper!

 

Mrs. Meisberger has picked up the pieces of a neglected program and breathed new life into computer applications with our students. Her multi-sensory approach to teaching the digital content required of the course is both refreshing and engaging. She consistently builds relationships with students and works to meet their needs in the classroom. She is a team player and participates fully in staff endeavors, offering both enthusiasm and support to the Harney family. She always has a kind word for whoever she contacts throughout the day and gives 100% to all she does. It is an honor to have her as part of our staff and to recommend her as a Tiger PRIDE Champion.

The Rotary Club of Lebanon is a valuable asset to our community.  Their members work diligently to provide service to others while promoting integrity and advancing world understanding, goodwill and peace, as noted in their mission statement.  Over the last few years, the local non-profit organization and their members have expressed their appreciation to LCSC teachers and staff through their “Rotary has a Heart for Teachers” project.  Through the project, they have provided treat bags to all staff in the six school buildings on Valentine’s Day.  On behalf of all LCSC staff members, we would like to thank the members of the Rotary Club for your kind gesture and support of our staff, school and community through your organization’s work.
