During Friday’s Awards Ceremony, I unfortunately overlooked one of our most prestigious student recognitions. I sincerely apologize for this oversight. More importantly, I would like to take this opportunity to celebrate the students who earned this distinction through their dedication, leadership, and commitment to making our Middle School a positive, welcoming, and enjoyable place for their peers. Their efforts throughout the year have helped strengthen our school community, and they deserve to be recognized for the impact they have made. While I regret that this recognition was missed during the ceremony, I am grateful for the opportunity to properly acknowledge and celebrate these outstanding students and their accomplishments.
The Portrait of a Trojan was started this school year and is used as the guiding principle of our school district. The portrait represents the important foundational habits that all Tulpehocken Trojans need to be successful. The five habits and pillars that embody the portrait are a Resilient Individual, an Innovative Problem Solver, an Effective Communicator, a Compassionate Citizen, and an Active Collaborator. The Portrait of a Trojan Award honors students who truly represent the heart and spirit of our school. These students consistently show integrity, kindness, leadership, and a strong sense of responsibility. They are the ones who lift others up by example and make our school a better place just by being themselves. We are proud to recognize them not only what they do, but for who they are. Our loudest congratulations to: Tessa P., Aubrey J, and Romeo V.
