CCQE Announces Annual Student Awards

Concerned Citizens for Quality Education (CCQE) announces that the first annual "Golden Peer Award" will be given to one elementary student from grades 3-4-5 or 6 at each elementary school at the end of the 2004-05 school year. A student can only be awarded this honor once while attending a Warsaw Community Schools' elementary school.

The awards, sponsored by CCQE, are in recognition of students who work to the best of their ability, are a good role model to their peers, completes homework in a timely manner, does “good deeds,” shows respect to their peers and adults, works well with others, respects authority and the rights of others.

Each teacher in grades 3-6 will nominate one student from their class. Students will also have the opportunity to nominate one of their peers for consideration. The selection committee will consist of the school's principal; an art, music, or physical education teacher; a secretary; bus driver; librarian; and the cafeteria manager.

Nominations for the awards will be accepted from teachers and students from May 2-13, 2005. The selection committees will then meet to select one student from each grade level for the final four students from each elementary school. Each elementary school’s student council will then meet to select one of their peers to receive the "Golden Peer Award."

A $100.00 United States savings bond and a plaque will be awarded to each of the seven recipients of the first annual "Golden Peer Award." Students who were nominated by their teacher or peers will receive a certificate. A representative from CCQE will present the winners their awards during each school’s year-end awards day.

The Concerned Citizens for Quality Education organization is proud to sponsor this award which recognizes students who strive to always put forth their best effort in school, and is a good role model to their peers.
