Tackan Elementary School Principal Matt Furey proudly bragged about his young students Thursday afternoon, as honored them with Tackan's "On Target" award.
"Congratulations to you, students who make Tackan a better place. These are the kids who see that another child has no one to play with. A child has nowhere to sit. And these are the kids who possess empathy, courage, and kindness and ask them to play with them, to sit with them,” Furey told attending families.
The “On Target” award doesn't have specific requirements in regards to academics, rather it is given to outstanding students who demonstrate determination, kindness, courage, intelligence and empathy towards their classmates.
Students were nominated by their teachers for the award and were given a certificate, a pencil, and an Italian ice!
