Hamilton Heights High School would like to recognize the following students who were named as Coffee Bean Award recipients for the month of February. Joannah Blueher, Addison Gilmore, Raechel Hunter, Jocelyn Mendez Rivera, and Camryn Runner. These students were among 15 who were nominated for their showing extra kindness, compassion, have overcome adversity, and/or who have been a positive light to those around them in February.
The name and award was inspired by The Coffee Bean, a book, written by Jon Gordon and Damon West that delivers a simple, yet power message on positive change. All students nominated receive a certificate of recognition. At the end of the month, the names of the students who were nominated during the month are included in a drawing where the first five names drawn are called down to the office to enjoy a hot chocolate or coffee and a donut.
“The program evolved from a similar program for staff under the same name,” explained Lori Watson, HHHS School Counselor. “The objective was to encourage more acts of kindness, positivity, school spirit, and help foster a closer sense of community at the high school.”
The monthly award program officially rolled out in January with Cassidy Felger, Taylor Harley, Kendall Herrell, Ethan Hodson, and Isabella Woody the first recipients. Students and staff can nominate students. Nomination forms can be downloaded at https://www.hhschuskies.org/domain/82
