* Terrific ’ Bulldogs ** Photo provided Nappanee Elementary School and the Nappanee Noon Kiwanis have teamed up again this year to recognize students who practice good character and citizenship. By focusing on the Bulldog Basics (respect, responsibility, teamwork, personal best, and no put downs) and TERRIFIC kids concepts (Thoughtful, Enthusiastic, Respectful, Responsible, Inclusive, Friendly, Inquisitive, and Capable), teachers nominate one student from their classroom. Each week two winners are chosen from those names, one from Kindergarten through second grade and one from third through fifth grade, to be the Bulldogs of the Week. The Bulldogs of the Week for the first trimester were (from left): inset left Andrea Miller; front row Preston Carney, Zhoey Rasnake, Karli Blucker, Meah Yoder, Payton Griffin, and Allison Moneyheffer; middle row Sidney Martin, Ryan Morgan, Raymond Thompson, Andrew Miller, Matthew Earl, and Abigail Helmuth; and back row Brianna Weldy, Adrienne Lehman, Cade Jackson, Brendan Volk, Blake Wilmot, and Kory Hilty.
