The actions ranged from the commonplace -- holding a door for someone -- to the exceptional -- helping a student pick up dropped items that other students were kicking down the hall -- but each was a random act of kindness.
In celebration of Random Acts of Kindness Day, Feb. 17, Beaty-Warren Middle School held a Random Acts of Kindness Week Feb. 18 through 21.
Throughout the week, teachers and students took note when students went out of their way to do good things -- "holding a door, loaning a pencil to another student, picking up dropped items, helping a teacher," Principal Shannon Yeager said.
"Students and teachers nominated these students," Yeager said. "We had 41 students who were recognized."
Each student received a Beaty Dragon FIRE magnet -- a principal's award for citizenship.
The fifth graders who were recognized were:
Cara Buck, Trey Carrington, Sierra Craig, Lilly Downey, Chloe Dunbar, Daniel Fardink, and Desir'ee Hilliard, and;
Alex Jones, Becca Little, Emma Peterson, Malaysia Soreson, Byron Tingue, Landon Wood, and Lilly Yoder.
Recognized sixth graders were:
Lilly Carpenter, Aubrey Carrington, Tyler Conklin, Leyna Irwin, Mea Irwin, Vince Koeppe, Scott Nichols, and Jacob Retterer.
The seventh graders earning recognition were:
Shalynn Barbera, Malakia Deskins, Ryan Egger, Brittany Fry, Josiah Hussey, Carson Root, and Ana Watson.
The list of recognized eighth graders was:
Braylon Barnes, Hailey Brush, Michael Clemente, Hector Cruz, Mega DeFranco, and Ayden Dodge; and
Emma Fox, Izzy Heacox, Ivy Moore, Sara Sokolski, Otis Watt, and Macy Winicki.
