The Student Spotlight segment of each Board meeting celebrates a student or a group of students who are living out the Portrait of an LPS Graduate, which highlights the life skills each LPS graduate should have. Tomorrow’s workers will succeed by constantly adapting to the changing world around them, and today’s students must begin by learning and developing life skills - where every student should be well-adjusted, thriving, and balanced.
Additionally, students will develop skills in:
Communication
Global and Cultural Awareness
Character and Critical Thinking
Problem Solving and Adaptability
Creativity and Risk Taking
Resiliency and Collaboration
Self Advocacy
All surrounding Rigorous and Relevant Academic Skills
In LPS, we strive to implement opportunities to grow these skills at every level of education, and we recognize students of all ages.
At the regularly scheduled Board of Education meeting on August 28, three 5th graders from Centennial Academy of Fine Arts Education were recognized.
Calvin Hosie and Colton Seib model COLLABORATION, COMMUNICATION, and kindness. This is especially true when they are working with and supporting their friend, Jordy. Calvin and Colton both help Jordy and her intervener, Ms. Ofelia, by holding doors and waiting for her in the hallway when they're walking to and from classes at Centennial. They talk to her and are both great listeners. Calvin and Colton go out of their way to say goodbye to Jordy at her car at the end of the day. They are patient in waiting for Jordy’s responses, and they are kind and respectful friends. Calvin and Colton are respectful and supportive members of the Centennial community, and they set such a great example of inclusion and kindness. Centennial is lucky to have them!
Joshua Lucero models RESILIENCY and RISK-TAKING. Josh is in his first year of compact math, which moves at a much faster pace. His teacher, Ms. Dobbelstein, shared that Josh is "SO on task" and eager to learn, so he's off to a great start as he rises to this new challenge, ensuring he has RIGOROUS AND RELEVANT ACADEMIC SKILLS. Great job, Josh!
