Champions of Character Award
Each year participating schools from L.E.S.T. select students who consistently demonstrate qualities that exemplify a champion of character. Qualities include living according to Christian values, being trustworthy, respectful and caring. Perseverance and a strong work ethic contribute to their exceptional academic success.

Congratulations to Hannah. You are a fine role model of all these qualities and our Champion of Character for 2009!
