Thursday, August 26th 2010 -- Quaker Valley All-Stars
Leetsdale, Pa.--Thanks to Quaker Valley High School for being our first participating school to host an assembly for 2010/2011! The assembly kicked off with the Smash Mouth hit, "All Star" and some carefree baseball-tossing around the auditorim.
Mary Dreliszak, Senior Manager of Program Development, introduced the program's four categories to students--Academic Excellence, Academic Improvement, Community Service, and Attendance--and explained the NEW RULES of the program: now, the TOP 10% of students in all four categories are eligible to win one of our awards.
The Challenge Program, Inc.'s student awards at Quaker Valley High School are sponsored by First National Bank. Charles Driscoll, a Quaker Valley alum, explained the importance of "showing up" and self-improvement and shared an example of how he worked hard to improve his grades in AP Biology during his time at Quaker Valley.
"I wasn’t the most significant student in the class, but it impacted my life because I showed up and I tried," said Driscoll.
“The Challenge Program, Inc. incorporates the three most important things: it’s your effort, your ability, and showing up."
Driscoll's hard work in AP Bio as a high school student really paid off! Not only did he receive 12 credits to attend college, he went on to become an important member of the FNB team.
Now it's up to YOU, Quaker Valley, to attend school, improve your grades, and get involved in your community. See you in the spring!
