WE BELIEVE Champions 2020-2021
What makes a We Believe Champion? A We Believe Champion is a special staff member who has made a positive impact in the lives of students, staff, and the community. This person believes in others so strongly that they, in turn, begin to believe in themselves. Their contributions exemplify the We Believe culture.
By Seleyna Mendoza, Managing Editor
Each year the We Believe Champion is selected for each school site by students and staff. These students then get the opportunity to present the We Believe Champion awards to their nominees in a fun and emotional presentation. The presentation of the awards is a moment we wait for throughout the year.
