Students recognized at Assembly of Excellence

By Shandee Sullivan Posted June 2, 2011

This year’s Assembly of Excellence, sponsored by the Mining Foundation, was one of the best yet. The assembly was held on May 18, 2011, at 10 a.m. in the old gym. Each year for this there is a theme, this year’s theme was “Superhero by night, super student by day.” All the students who were recognized for their improvement received a shirt to wear to the assembly.

During the assembly their were a few special dances performed from different dance organizations which were, Encore Dance Academy, Winnemucca Basque Dancers and the St. Paul’s Hispanic Youth Dancers.

Mrs. Grady thinks the assembly is beneficial for students. She said, “I think it honors over half the school and I think the kids set goals for the next year.”

The assembly was put on by Mrs. Dawson and Grady, with some help from our leadership class doing much of the decorating. Others who helped with the assembly were the secretaries and counseling office, the Maintenance Department, Jim Dandy Productions, Frontier Community Coalition, Mr. Don Walton, Mr. Andy Anderson, Mr. Paul Criddle, Mr. Luca Bernardi, and Sherry Tibbals.
