Rock County High School Introduces A.C.E. Award to Recognize Student Excellence.
Rock County High School is recognizing students for the qualities that extend beyond the athletic field with the introduction of the A.C.E. Award, an honor designed to highlight outstanding Attitude,Character and Effort.
With the help of Mrs. Amanda Fischer, Rock County High School staff are using the award to give positive recognition to students who demonstrate exceptional qualities in the classroom, extracurricular activities and throughout the school community.
Each A.C.E. Award recipient receives a certificate, a coupon for four à la carte items, and a free pass to the front of the lunch line. Winners will also be featured in the newspaper and on the school's Facebook page.
The first recipient is Max Sybrant. Max has been demonstrating outstanding character and dedication across multiple areas. In PE Class, Max stands out for the tremendous kindness he shows toward his classmates. His honesty during competitive games is incredibly impressive, especially for a seventh grader, setting a fantastic example of sportsmanship for his peers.
Max has also shown personal initiative in music. This year, he has taken it upon himself to arrive early and practice extra before class even begins. Thanks to his hard work and focus, he has made great improvements on the trumpet.
Most recently, Max went above and beyond while volunteering at the FFA concession stand. Although he only signed up to work a single shift, he selflessly stayed for three full shifts, stepping up to do whatever was needed with a positive attitude. After the game, he stayed late to clean up the concession stand and took the extra initiative to help tidy up the other areas of the facility as well.
Congratulations to Max Sybrant on being Rock County High School's first A.C.E. Award recipient, Keep up the great work, Max!
