Clarkson Public Schools is pleased to announce the recipients of the Patriot of Valor award for the month of October 2019. This award recognizes students for their academic performance, character, behavior, and attendance. Teachers nominate students that demonstrate these qualities each month and then selections are made during staff meetings. Students are chosen from elementary, middle and high school.
Keelie Anderson is a kindergartener who was nominated by Mrs. Brenda Novak. Keelie is “a good friend. Keelie will help her peers inside and outside of the classroom.”
Sixth grade student Emilie Hajek was nominated in the middle school by Mr. Bryan Becker. He praised Emilie for “having a good attitude about school work. Emilie often gives up recess to get extra help on her assignments, she wants to do well in class. Emilie is helpful to others in class.”
Emilie received a second nomination from Mrs. Tami Sayers. “Emilie has done a great job of participating in class. She has come out of her shell and has gained confidence in herself in and out of the classroom. Emilie is taking pride in herself and her grades and it shows!”
Junior Bailey Lemburg was nominated by Mrs. Lynn Morfeld. “In recognition of consistently being an honorable, diligent, hard-working student. Bailey uses her time in school effectively to get as much studying and work in as possible. She treats school as her full-time job, and her dedication to that job would make her a valuable employee to future employers. She is extremely organized and is able to efficiently prioritize her studies, extracurricular activities, and social life. I enjoy Bailey's quick wit and honesty when we get a chance to talk outside of academics. I hope my own daughter looks up to Bailey as someone to emulate. ”
Bailey received a second nomination from Mrs. Allison Dolezal, “In chemistry, Bailey always puts effort into every assignment. She is often gone for school activities and still completes her work in a timely manner while coming in on her own time to complete missed labs. Bailey asks questions on assignments if she doesn't understand. She is eager to learn and has high expectations for herself.”

You continue to be trustworthy, respectful, and a curious student. Thanks for being YOU!”
Sophomore Noah Holoubek was nominated by Mrs. Vicky Miller “for always being an eager learner. Noah notices little details and seeks to understand patterns to know why things are the way they are.

Sixth grade student Tucker Matthies was the recipient at the middle school level because of his efforts in all classrooms. Mr. Andrew Faltys said, “Tucker has gone beyond what is expected in the classroom this school year. He has stuck his neck out to answer questions in class, even if he wasn’t 100% sure. He’s taking chances and I appreciate it!”
Clarkson Public Schools congratulates these seven students and looks forward to showcasing more students in October.
