Hamilton Heights High School recognizes the following students who were named as Coffee Bean Award recipients for the month of May. They include Bryce Cargnino, Madison Edens, Chloe Ford, Olivia Goldfarb, Ethan Hodson, Daryn Lee, Luke Lively, Aidan Orton, Alex Patterson, and Macie Smith.

“This month we had a special focus for our Student Coffee Bean Award,” Freshman Counselor Lori Watson explained. “Teachers nominated students who made a positive turnaround this semester or showed perseverance in their classroom. It’s been a great semester honoring our students and we look forward to the Student Coffee Bean Awards for the 23-24 School Year!”

The name and award, inspired by The Coffee Bean, a book written by Jon Gordon and Damon West, delivers a simple, yet powerful message on positive change. All students nominated receive a certificate of recognition. At the end of the month, the names of the students who were nominated during the month are included in a drawing where the first five to seven names drawn are called down to the office to enjoy a hot chocolate or coffee and a donut.

The monthly award objective is to encourage more acts of kindness, positivity, school spirit, and help foster a closer sense of community at the high school. Students and staff can nominate students. Nomination forms can be downloaded at hhschuskies.org/domain/82.
