Praise Long Overdue

I often wonder what is worse: no praise or praise long overdue.  I’m opting for the former, so I want to give praise that is truly long overdue.  Sometime in January, Mrs. Maciag involved her students in an essay contest about their Dream Job.  They had to construct an essay about a career they were interested in and research the essentials: salary, hours, schedule, required education, benefits, certification, job availability in locales, and how family life would be affected if they obtained the job.  Then, they had to retract the research with their own opinions by stating how they liked the job after researching it, and if they would pursue the career.  Two of Mrs. Maciag’s students, Mark Yorgey and Deaven Freed, won Honorable Mention and $100 Saving Bond.  They competed in a large field of entries, and our Salisbury community is very proud of them. 
In a Digital Storytelling Contest sponsored by PBS on the theme of Local Heroes, Dominic Butillo won First Place and an Olympus FE-180 digital camera.  He was honored at a luncheon at Channel 39, where he was accompanied by our superintendent, Dr. Mary Ann Wright, and our principal, William Hume.  Dominic’s local hero is his brother Todd, who recently returned from a tour of duty in the Middle East.  You can watch Dominic’s prize-winning entry, Real Heroes, by clicking here.

I owe a debt of thanks as well to students who helped me with this blog post.  Rebecca Jones recalled from memory with amazing accuracy the details of the contest Mark and Deaven won.  Tyson Frei taught me how to use code to place the image, something I have wanted to learn all year.  Mr. Ziegenfuss sent me the code a long time ago, but I finally got to try it out, with Tyson’s help.  I would be very remiss not to thank the teachers who cooperated by letting Dominic miss some of their classes when technology was not cooperating.  To Miss Honochick, you were terrific to purchase new microphones.  Mr. Smith, for always providing whatever we need, whenever, on no notice, you really help staff and students.  I probably missed someone who did something special to make all of this happen, so please understand that’s what happens when praise is long overdue.  Thank you one and all, and CONGRATULATIONS, however belatedly.
