Hamilton Heights High School recognizes the following students who were named as Coffee Bean Award recipients for the month of April. They include Landon Day, Rachel England, Brinley Flaherty, John Irion, Valencia Pearson, Emma Trees, and Austin Warwick.

These students were among 59 who were nominated for showing extra kindness, compassion, have overcome adversity, and/or who have been a positive light to those around them in April.

The name and award were inspired by The Coffee Bean, a book written by Jon Gordon and Damon West that 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 this link.
