On Friday, March 20, Healy brought back the Honors Breakfast. 193 Healy students, grades 7-12 were invited, along with their parents / guardians to enjoy donuts, muffins, and coffee.
Mr. Egan spoke directly to students about how they should be proud of the work and effort they have put in and to be leaders in making it ok to try and to be great. He also acknowledged the work parents are putting into their children - the hard conversations, the structure and boundaries held, and the support through challenges that leads to student success at school.
We would like to extend a special thank you to everyone who helped to make this event a huge success: our custodial staff and helpful students for setting up and tearing down, the kitchen staff for the treats and beverages, Sarah Funk, Dave Rocheleau, Nancy Monson (postes and slide show), Brenda Gotvald and her Ag students (flowers), Joan Sanoski (slide show and student attendance), our paras who mailed inviations, and to our school counseling and social work staff who were available to help with serving food and greeting families.
Congratulations to all of these students for their extraordinary work and to their families for supporting their students. Thank you to everyone who took the time out of their days to be with us.
