Las Lomas High School - 2010 Jefferson Awards Students In Action Presentation Jefferson Awards
Students In Action is a national youth volunteer leadership, recognition and reward program, designed to pass the tradition of service on to the next generation.
Co-developed by Jefferson Awards for Public Service and Deloitte, it is now in over 250 High Schools.
Each spring, Student Leaders from the participating schools compete in regional competitions. They are asked to report on the implementation of the program, and the impact they've had, both in their schools and within their communities.
The Literacy Center (TLC) held its Literacy Celebration Wednesday, April 30, at Old National Bank. The celebration was held in honor of their volunteer service and student success.
The Service Award goes to someone who has exhibited an exceptional amount of willingness to go above and beyond the traditional volunteer expectations. The winners were Katy Dunigan, a former executive director and current board of directors member for the past six years, and Reece McDevitt, a volunteer for the past year who has assisted them with events, editing, additional educational opportunities and tutoring.
The Student of the Year award is given to a student who has exhibited an exceptional amount of commitment, determination, and success in working toward or achieving his or her goals. The award was given to Ashley Sauer. Ashley is a student who has shown exceptional progress towards her goals and has consistently gone above our requirements including being a spokesperson. Due to confidentiality of our services, the name of the other student of the year cannot be released at this time.
The Tutor of the Year award goes to a volunteer tutor who has exhibited an exceptional amount of generosity, effort, and commitment to his/her student and to TLC. The award was given to Jessica Mallinder. Jessica joined TLC after relocating to Evansville in late 2012. She has a contagious energy and utilizes innovative tutoring methods that have helped her student make tremendous progress in a short period of time. She helps with additional task behind the scenes including editing and events.
Our Friend of Literacy Award honors members of the community whose exceptional contributions have enabled TLCs to advance adult literacy in the community. The winners were Dennis John Bailey and Diane Douglas of the WIKY Morning show. “DJB & Diane go above and beyond when getting the word out about our services and events.” said Jennifer Wigginton, Executive Director. “They are not only friends of The Literacy Center but the community as a whole.”
The Gordon R. & Helen McKinney Memorial Service Award was the top honor of the night, and went to someone who is an integral part of the Literacy Center’s success. It can be a long time volunteer, a former board member, or a community leader who has contributed large amounts of time, energy, or resources to TLC. The award was giving to Susanna Hoeness-Krupsaw. Susanna is celebrating her 20 year anniversary this year with the Literacy Center and has been a tutor and trainer of volunteer tutors for many years. She has had many students of all levels and is currently Ashley Sauer’s tutor. “She has always gone above and beyond for each of her students in the past twenty years and is essential to our tutor training for our volunteers to understand the challenges of the adult learner,” said Jennifer Wigginton, Executive Director. “It is a privilege to know and work with her.”
TEAMS (Together Everyone Achieves More Success) is designed to improve middle-school and high-school students' chances of staying in school, graduating, and attending college. It is a partnership between UNL Extension, Western Nebraska Community College, and the Minatare and Scottsbluff School Districts.
Success depends on the hands of the person who seized the right opportunity that comes along in his way. One of the greatest achievement of success in the field of learning is Graduation Day in which you give honor to the person who is one away of molding and influenced you towards success in your academic aspects, recognizing the fruit of sacrifices of your parents who suffered the searing heat of sun in order for you to send in school, to be proud of your effort and sacrifices that you spent along the way to reached another ladder of success in educational arena through dedication and being responsible student in class.

Success Story
2012
"Mr.Eddie Powell broughthis enthusiasmand winning ways to our
Accelerated Reader program this year.Accelerated Readeris a
reading incentive program.Students read books,take a computer-
based comprehensionquiz,and the readeris able to be awarded
points for their correctanswers.Points are redeemable for prizes.The
program hit a slump in January2012 and Mr.Eddie steppedforward
with an idea to increase studentparticipation in this program.
The program"I Got Paid 2Read2" was Mr.Powell's new incentive for
Maplewood students. Students who met their goals for the year would
be rewardedwith certificates and brand new $2.00 bills. He personally
promotedthe new incentive to students in their classrooms,in
the hallway,in the cafeteria,and throughour closed circuitTV
broadcasteverymorning.
Additionally,he reached outto the community for businessesand
individuals who would donate moneyfor the $2.00 bills. Becauseof
his tireless efforts,enough moneywas raised to award 354 students
their $2.00 prize and certificate!
Mr.Powell set a goal for our school,as well as for himself, and made
it happen.His determination and enthusiasm is remarkable!"
