As we close out another remarkable year at Pinckney Community High School, we are proud to honor our final Students of the Week: juniors Luna Scott and McKenzie Klenk. These two outstanding student leaders have been the driving force behind our Student and Staff of the Week recognitions all year long—serving as the engine behind one of our school’s most uplifting and consistent routines.
Each week, Luna and Kenzie combed through nominations submitted by students and staff, identified which individuals received the most meaningful praise aligned with The Positivity Project’s mission, and curated the write-ups featured in our Friday newsletters, school TVs, social media, and The Livingston Daily. They not only synthesized the celebratory language but also took the weekly photos and ensured everything was submitted on time and with integrity.
The Positivity Project teaches that “other people matter” and aims to help students recognize their character strengths, deepen relationships, and live meaningful lives. Luna and Kenzie have embodied that mission. Their dedication to highlighting the good in others, week after week, has created a ripple effect of positivity across our school.
In addition to this effort, Kenzie was instrumental in organizing our Student and Staff of the Week nomination system at the start of the year and went above and beyond for a fundraiser, Operation Christmas Wishes, in partnership with the Yoga Strong Foundation. Her peers describe her as a creative, energetic force of nature who brings Leadership, Zest, Enthusiasm, Humor, Honesty, and Teamwork to everything she does. She steps up when others need help and always keeps it real.
Luna is recognized by peers for her consistent Kindness, Love, Positivity, and Inclusion. She brings warmth and humor to every room and makes others feel welcome and appreciated. As one classmate put it, “Luna is always kind to me, and she includes everyone—she shows love and positivity every single day.”
Both students are invaluable members of our Leadership & Link Crew program, where they help incoming freshmen transition successfully into high school. Through their behind-the-scenes work and day-to-day leadership, Luna and Kenzie have made PCHS a better, brighter place for all.
Thank you, Luna and Kenzie, for being shining examples of what it means to lead with character. You’ve helped make sure the incredible people in our building feel seen, valued, and celebrated.
