Hauppauge Middle School Fosters Kindness With Monthly Awards

HAUPPAUGE, NY — Each month, Hauppauge Middle School rewards thoughtful and positive actions with kindness awards, according to the Hauppauge School District.

Teachers nominate students by entering their names into a raffle whenever they witness them performing kind gestures. At the end of each quarter, 25 lucky students are selected to receive recognition and a reward for their kindness.

This month’s event took place in the school’s library where students gathered for a special meet-and-greet hosted by Hauppauge Middle School librarian Melissa McParland.

Students first grabbed snacks and drinks before sitting down to socialize. As they enjoyed the treats, they were surprised by a special guest, guidance counselor Andrea Olivero’s dog, Sully.

Each of the students were then recognized with a certificate, highlighting their positive contributions to Hauppauge Middle School.
