Subira K. ’25和Mr. 卡帕乔是我们四月的日常英雄!

我们很高兴与大家分享苏比拉K. ’25 and STEM/Chorale teacher Sonny 卡帕乔是我们四月的日常英雄!

The campus community nominated employees and students who have been doing great things and living out our values in big and small ways during the month. The Everyday Hero Award Committee (Gracie R. 1924年，伊莎贝拉. 24岁，塔莎·A. 25岁，凯拉·P. ’26, and faculty members Erika Page, Christine McCrehin, Lynnette Saunders, Dr. 谭雅·海厄特博士. Whittney普雷斯顿, and Cathy McGehee) received a multitude of nominations and the announcement of winners at Morning Meeting was met with much cheering and applause.

Before revealing Subira as the student winner, Student Head of School Gracie R. 和初中班主席塔沙·A. 分享提名语录.

One freshman wrote, “I used to ride with this student and had most of my lessons with her. 她总是那么积极, giving motivation and lifting my spirits with a kind word after a not-so-good round. 即使事情没有如她所愿, she would use what went wrong as a lesson for what to do in her next round. Even though we don’t see each other that much anymore, she always says 'hi' whenever I see her and asks about riding and the horse I lease. She always has something nice to say and it’s a joy to talk to her.”

A member of the 六月ior Class wrote, “She never fails to hype people up and make them smile. Even when the day isn't going in her favor she still goes above and beyond to make others feel optimistic and happy.”

This quality is especially impressive because she herself has had some tough breaks this year, 字面上的.  “在足球赛季开始的时候, 她的脚摔断了, resulting in her being out for the rest of the season.
Instead of being bummed and upset about it, she made the most of it. She sits and cheers people on during practice and games, not only for her team but also for Varsity Soccer. Her presence in the community is not overlooked and she is a true representation of an all-day every day ‘hype buddy’.”

她的老师也注意到了她的精神. 一位教员写道, “During jam’s recent Morning Meeting performance, one voice in particular rose above the crowd, 充满鼓励和热情的. Her love for the play was evident as she attended not once, 但两次, a testament to her genuine passion for supporting her peers in their endeavors.”

In the classroom, her teachers see her as a discussion leader. “Her sense of humor and ability to ask tough questions helps everyone in class,” one teacher writes. “在我认识这个学生的两年里, I have witnessed her remarkable growth and leadership, 进进出出教室. Her ability to uplift and support her classmates, 不管情况如何, 让她成为了一个平凡的英雄.“祝贺苏比拉·K. 25年，我们的学生每日英雄! 

Head of School Cathy McGehee also shared reflections from nominations before announcing Mr. 卡帕西奥是员工赢家.

一个学生写道, “This teacher deserves this award without a doubt because he makes everything better. 他是我的几何学, 唱诗班, 和主舞台老师, and I couldn’t be happier to have the chance to have him in all these classes. 他真的很有耐心, he will repeat the things over and over again until he makes sure that you have understood it, and he will never make you feel like your questions are stupid or too obvious. Every time I struggle with a song, he cheers me up and supports me until I get it. Even if it’s a three word solo, he will try to make it as comfortable as possible for every person. Choir is always really fun with his jokes and fun facts about music. He also always has a smile on his face that brightens up your day.”

“Mr. C is my favorite dorm parent because he is always in a good mood,” writes another student. “He will always listen to my long lists of why my day was amazing or awful. He is also so much fun in Chorale, making it an enjoyable thing. I praise him for sticking with us learning and perfecting 'Those Canaan Days' in 约瑟夫 还有其他的音乐.”

A common theme is this teacher’s patience and kindness. 正如另一个学生所说, “He puts up with our endless questions and mood swings, helps us become better singers and musicians, and sometimes graces us with his amazing impressions. He elevates the music program with his passion and skill, and he and Ms. 埃弗雷特是一缕完美的阳光.“祝贺先生。. 卡帕乔，我们的员工每日英雄!
