SOAR-ing with the Eagles

     The SOAR program was recognized students of the month. This is the first year that Robert C Byrd has used the “Students of the month”. Every month teachers from each grade and subject meet to vote on a student who has achieved or performed high quality in a class that has been noticed. Students say that it is a great achievement to be chosen for the program. If teachers feel that a certain student has worked harder or shown more effort in class than any other student, then they can have the opportunity to be nominated for this award. Assistant principal, Donna Hage, said, “This program is a good idea because it recognizes a wide variety of students who have accomplished something.”  Hage thinks that anything that recognizes student achievement is a good idea.
