Last school year, the focus of our elementary division was to encourage students to display CRISP (Compassion, Respect, Integrity, Servant’s Heart, Perseverance) behaviours. This is a foundational expectation that we are carrying forward to complement our yearly theme. As such, we want to continue to recognize students who have stood out this term with their CRISP actions, words and deeds.
On Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. V led the celebration. She started by encouraging the students to read the description, actions, and key Bible verses associated with each CRISP trait before she announced the winners. The winners were nominated by teachers. Mrs. V read short descriptions about why each student was given the award. There are no fixed number of awards by grade or class so sometimes, there are many winners for a CRISP characteristic while other times, there may only be few winners for a specific category. As you can see from the photos, there were quite a few who were given the “Perseverance” award this term.
After the CRISP Awards, there was a Wesley Wildfire Sports Update. It focused entirely on basketball. Our Senior Boys came in FOURTH place in their tournament. Their Encourager Award was given to a student in Grade 7.
Our Junior Boys came in THIRD place in their tournament in Mississauga. Their Encourager Award was given to a student in Grade 4.
The Senior Girls came in SECOND place in their tournament. Their Encourager Award was given to a student in Grade 8.
Our Junior Girls Team came in FIRST place in their tournament. Their Encourager Award was given to a student in Grade 6.
Congratulations to all the award winners today!
