He said, “In only the first week of class, I have noticed a higher level of interest and attention in this student than I have in many years of teaching. His disposition and energy are unmatched, and the way he attacked our first two projects in my Dramatic Techniques class is unprecedented in my years here. He is the kind of student that when you look out at the class makes you glad you decided to become a teacher.” Tyler and Joey were nominated by Mr. Weber. He said, “These two men volunteered to work the Elderama Gift Gathering Party on Saturday, August 29th. Their responsibilities included greeting guests, helping carry gifts from cars to the registration table, selling split-the-pot chances, and staying afterward to help with cleanup. What stood out to me was how well they represented themselves and Elder High School. They were comfortable talking and interacting with guests and confidently asking people to participate in the split-the-pot. They worked hard, had fun, and never hesitated to jump in wherever they were needed.” #Altiora
