Lebanon High School— Lauren Argotte
Nominated by Ms. Rudolf

If you need a student to be the definition of Tiger Pride, it would be Lauren Argotte. She is the hardest working student I have ever met, and it doesn’t stop in the classroom. She’s involved in a long list of school activities and represents Lebanon well. I have the pleasure of being her teacher and FFA Advisor. However, Lauren and I do an equal amount of advising each other. Without her assistance, I never would have learned as much about the organization and how Lebanon works, so for that, I will forever be grateful for her. Congrats Lauren, you deserve this!

 

 

Lebanon Middle School— Lyla Susong
Nominated by Team Swag

Team SWAG is honored to nominate Lyla Susong as a TIGER PRIDE CHAMPION. Lyla is a quiet leader who leads by example. Lyla can be counted on to help staff and students in whatever is needed. Lyla comes into class with a smile and every day. Lyla is part of PBIS where at times she is asked to do work unsupervised in the hall. We can always count on Lyla doing what she is supposed to do. Great job Lyla, keep up the amazing work!
