On Friday, May 20, the Middle School held its annual awards ceremony. Over 100 students were called to the stage in the Janet Root Theatre to receive awards ranging from art contests to Battle of the Books trophies to National Spanish Exam awards. Students received Headmaster's Medals for earning straight A's for one, two, or all three trimesters.
Mr. Norman Bungard, an involved citizen of St. Petersburg, was on our Shorecrest campus last fall for a Guardian ad Litem meeting. Mr. Bungard has been a Guardian for many years and he is also deeply involved with Habitat for Humanity among other local organizations. During his time on campus, Mr. Bungard enjoyed reading last year's copy of the literary journal. He decided he wanted to support and inspire our students by funding a writing contest. He made a donation to Shorecrest to support this even though he has no direct connection to the school. Students who won the Bungard writing contest received Barnes and Noble gift cards.
The ceremony ended with three very special awards.
