Editorial: Exceptional effort

By Blue Devil’s Advocate Staff

Exceptional education students make contributions on campus that are often unnoticed.  For example, they help reduce Varina’s carbon footprint and get the cafeteria ready for lunch.  In fact, the exceptional education students spend multiple hours a week leading by example and showing exactly what it means to be a true Blue Devil.

Four days a week, students from the classes of Mr. Jonathan Gosney and Ms. Jennifer Gay collect items from recycling bins on campus. Most students treat recycling bins like trash cans – forgetting materials like laminated paper, staples and Styrofoam do not belong. Exceptional education students visit classrooms Tuesday through Thursday to empty the sometimes overloaded bins.

Other exceptional education students in Ms. Amy Davis’ class get to school early every day to stock spoons, forks and napkins in the cafeteria.  They make it possible for lunch to be served when the first student enters the lunch line.

Exceptional education students also stamp mail on heavy mail days in the office.  They participate in Blue Devil spirit days and use the new Promethean technology for learning.

The exceptional education students work hard with a positive attitude and enthusiasm.  Next time you see them picking up recycling or working in the cafeteria, thank them for their contribution to our school.  They truly are role models.
