Darby Miller and Bryanna Fedorchak Recognized

Two Mercer students have received the PRIDE Award for the month of November. The PRIDE Award is an acronym for Peer Recognition in Displaying Excellence.

This is a unique award to the Mercer Middle-High School. While the Student of the Month is a teacher-driven nomination model, the PRIDE Award puts the power into the hands of the students. Any student in grades 7-12 have the opportunity to submit a PRIDE nomination form if they would like to anonymously recognize other students around the school. Students may be nominated for their performance within five categories (academics, athletics, behavior, attitude, leadership).

Darby Miller is an 8th grade student at Mercer Middle School. Her anonymous nomination form stated, "Academically, Darby shoots for the stars. She took English 8 over the summer and is now taking CP English 9 as an eighth grader. Athletically, Darby is a beast. Whether it’s soccer, basketball, or track, Darby will find her own way to dominate the field/court/track. She shows behavior that I wish rubbed off on other students. Darby’s attitude is spunky and is she is determined. She shows her attitude by working hard to get good grades. Darby shows leadership. Darby is the president of NJHS and Student Council. She is the perfect candidate for this award."

 

 

Bryanna Fedorchak is an 11th grade student at Mercer High School. Her anonymous nomination form stated, "She tries her hardest and puts all of her heart in the game. Many girls, including me, look up to her."
