Educators of PROMISE Awards
The Educators of PROMISE awards, recognize and honor four, first-year teachers with $1,000 awards. The teachers are nominated by their school principal for demonstrating Potential, Responsibility, Optimism, Motivation, Integrity, Sensitivity, and Excellence in teaching. The PROMISE Awards are announced at the annual STAY Initiative Banquet, a WS/FCS mentoring program designed to help new teachers during their first year in the classroom. The awards promote excellence in teaching, commitment to the profession and assist in teacher retention.
Poet Laureate
The Poet Laureate Competition is an annual county-wide poetry competition hosted in conjunction with WS/FCS. The competition augments the WS/FCS English curriculum, and serves as an opportunity for students to showcase spoken word skills to a broader audience. Winners receive a small monetary cash award, and publication of their works in a print journal entitled Rising Voices. The competition is in its twelfth year and has created an avenue of creative expression for hundreds of students.
