Hotchkiss K-8 awards Blazing Bulldogs
Hotchkiss K-8 School recently recognized the December Blazing Bulldogs. This award was created by principal Carrie Coats to recognize students who need a "pat on the back."
This program recognizes students who have distinguished themselves in one or more of the following categories: attendance, display of community of caring (citizenship), effort, accomplishments or other. Teachers are asked to nominate students every month.
The Blazing Bulldog recipients receive a certificate, a coupon from Bananas Fun Park, and a coupon for a doughnut or small foundation drink from Hotchkiss City Market. Their names and pictures are posted outside the office, and the students are recognized in the Delta County Independent and the Wednesday Express.
