We held our first CSA Learners of Merit Awards Ceremony on Friday, November 1, 2024. Five categories are awarded each quarter, with nominations being made by CSA facilitators, and include Silent Scholar, Leader, Academian, Helping Hands, and Tolerance Ambassador.
The Silent Scholar works diligently, stays focused and on task, and excels at school even when it’s challenging. This person is willing to fight for what they desire and go beyond their comfort zone to seek out resources and solutions others would never try to find. There is one Silent Scholar per grade.
- Congratulations to Danny Boehm for being the Q1 Silent Scholar for 6th grade! The 6th-grade nominations were Danny Boehm, McCoy Brasher, Josie Lundberg, and Addie Rismiller.
- Congratulations to Carter Wilson for being the Q1 Silent Scholar for 7th grade! The nominations for 7th grade were Carter Wilson and Grayson Buske.
- Congratulations to Santana Soriano for being the 8th grade Q1 Silent Scholar! The 8th graders nominated were Santana Soriano, Max Lundberg, Lindsey Wilhelm, Aiden Gavan.
The Leader award is given to one learner across the grade levels, and Leader nominees take the lead when appropriate, guide learners to follow expectations, and lead by doing. This is a person with integrity, self-awareness, flexibility to adapt to unique or challenging circumstances, influence, empathy, courage, and respect.

The Academian award is awarded to a learner in each grade, and this person is someone who completes work with excellence, does well, and earns high grades. Characteristics of an Academian are a genuine sense of curiosity and wonder, thirst for discovery, tenacity, and open-mindedness to different value systems and cultural norms. Learners display good critical thinking and knowledge management skills and can decompose and synthesize data, draw lines, and relate content to context.

Helping Hands award is given to one learner across the grade levels who is willing to help out at any time, no matter the situation. Someone with Helping Hands is compassionate, joyful, caring, and possesses a deep sense of community.

There is one CSA Tolerance Ambassador honored each quarter who exhibits patience with all humans regardless of their differences, is forgiving of others’ mistakes (even if they happen over and over), listens carefully, and treats others with dignity and respect. This person also influences others to be more tolerant through actions or respectful words.
