Teammate of the Week!

Students nominated their first Teammate of the Week this week. The Teammate of the Week is a student who demonstrates the qualities and actions of a great classmate and teammate. The award is inspired by the book Teammates, by Peter Golenbock, which describes how Pee Wee Reese, through his words and actions, welcomed and supported his teammate Jackie Robinson. After reading this book, we brainstorm qualities and actions that a good classmate or teammate would demonstrate. We discuss how being good teammates will help us all to achieve our personal hopes and dreams. Then, each week, the students nominate a classmate who they believe best demonstrates the qualities and actions of a great teammate during the past week. It is truly an honor to be recognized as Teammate of the Week by your peers.
