Congratulations Naomi Bissell on Receiving This Month's Core Value Award for Learning!
Each month an Everett Public Schools student can be nominated by their teacher who demonstrates the Core Value of the Month. The nominations are sent to Administration where students are selected to be recognized as a Core Value Champion.
Mrs. Hinds nominated Naomi for exemplifying the Core Value of the Month, Learning. Here's what she wrote about Naomi…
"Naomi Bissel consistently demonstrates the core value of learning through her curiosity and openness to learning new things. She challenges herself in learning situations and actively seeks to understand. With her determination and willingness, she can learn anything!"
Congratulations Naomi!
