Honoring Our Children

Importance of Student Awards and Recognition

Students recognition for effort and success improves motivation and encourages participation. Academic awards are often only distributed to those few students who achieve above-and-beyond. While this is important, it involves only a select few. Recognizing students for other qualities like effort, improvement, and cooperation as well, can increase self-confidence, offer a sense of accomplishment, and generate respect in a peer group. Having such a sense of accomplishment spurs improvement.

Why we need to appreciate our students?

Because, recognizing attributes such as good attitudes, honest work ethics, determination, helpfulness, and a love of learning helps build a sense of community and an environment conducive to learning. A solid program can encourage a sense of accomplishment and achievement that a student can carry with them for the rest of their lives. This also improves their chances of success as they progress through the educational system and on into their career fields.
