Mrs. Pekoc, the seventh grade team leader, and seventh grade science teacher explained that the seventh grade team decides on the Core Values Award winner by also getting together with all the seventh grade teachers. The teachers submit names of students that they think are worthy of the Core Values Award and then they vote on who they think should be the winner. Mrs. Finny, the sixth grade team leader and the sixth grade STEM teacher said, ?I decide who the monthly Core Values recipient by asking the sixth grade team to think about a student they would like to nominate who shows the four core values.? She further explained, ?I think the core values are important to the middle school and to the whole school. We do honor our students because in these years it?s hard, and we try to remind the students who they are and what is important in our community.? Arianna Cartellon, a sixth grader who won the Core Values Award said, ?Ever since I won the Core Values Award, I am more conscious of my behavior because I want to prove that they were right about picking me and not because I know that I am not going to be chosen again.? She also said that it was a surprise to her when her name was called at the assembly because it was her first year at the school, and she didn?t know that middle school had the Core Values Awards.
