2nd Annual Blaine Rawlings Leadership in Excellence Award 2008-09

At the beginning of the school year we had a lesson about leadership and how it is necessary for civilizations to thrive.  Somebody has to step up to the challenge and call of leadership.  At the end of the school year we watched the movie Flyboys to finish our unit on WWI.  In the movie, the main character Blaine Rawlings exhibits great leadership qualities; and like bookends I have used the idea of leadership to start and end my year.  In recognition for exemplary leadershipp qualities I awarded the Blaine Rawlings Leadership in Excellence Award to the following students for 2008-09
