The Good Apples

By Simone Stephens

The annual Apple Awards, which are given to the students by teachers, counselors, and
any member of the school staff to showcase students’ good deeds around the school,
were awarded in Central’s media center on April 19.

“There were 89 nominations this year,” said Physics teacher Judy Davis, who has been
coordinating the awards for 11 years now. “The apple awards have been running since

It’s nice to be recognized for just being me!”

Central appreciates their extra efforts to contribute to our school. Every student is
exceptional in our school and even though all of us aren’t recognized, we all contribute
in various ways.
