Huge ovations and smiling faces greeted more than one hundred recipients of the School Citizen of the Year (SCOTY) award earlier this week as West40 honored students who go above and beyond in the classroom.
Area educators from across the West Cook County region nominated students for their positive attitude, willingness to help others, leadership skills, and work ethic.
“When I think of kindness, he is the first student I think of,” a nominator wrote of a fourth grader who received the honor.
Another nominator wrote how a selected student “goes out of her way to be helpful to her peers whether helping with classwork, translating, or showing kindness.”
Ingrid Alonso, sophomore at the West40 Regional Safe School and Jacob Corona, fifth grader at the West40 Remote School, were among the proud SCOTY Award recipients to walk across the stage and receive a medal and certificate.
“The Student Citizen of the Year (SCOTY) awards are a great opportunity for West40 and our districts to recognize our amazing students,” said West40 Director of Support Services John Milosovic. “SCOTY brings students, families and school staff together to celebrate their son/daughter/student’s achievement in the classroom and in the community.”
The 2023 SCOTY Awards hosted 131 students and more than 900 attendees. The event was held in the West Leyden High School Auditorium.
