  • Arbor View High School My Name Is Caleb Gibb, and I Am a Junior at Arbor View High School
    Arbor View High School My name is Caleb Gibb, and I am a junior at Arbor View High School. Our teachers, staff, and students do a lot for us here, so we enjoy giving back as much as we can. Lots of the return is through student recognition or teacher appreciation events. Our students tend to do well in sports, photography, academics, debate, and other school activities. We recognize student success in these fields everyday on the announcements, or during student assemblies. Our student body president gets on the intercom every day and congratulates each student for their achievement in the activity he/she participated in. For example, if a student achieves a national merit test score, they are acknowledged. If they score a goal in a soccer game, they are acknowledged. We try to recognize all activities so students feel appreciated. We also like to show our appreciation for our teachers and staff. For teacher appreciation week, each class in student council came up with a cheesy saying and a treat for all the teachers. Our junior class came up with the line, “We donut know what we would do without you”. With this saying came a fresh Krispy Kreme doughnut. Activities like these can really make teachers and staff feel loved by the students at your school. Battle Mountain High School Staff appreciation is very important at Battle Mountain High School. The past two years we have started serving them breakfast one day of the year. We present them a menu, giving them a choice of various breakfast items.
