It takes many to help a school run smoothly. Three times each school year Wells High School holds a ‘Breakfast of Champions’ to recognize those students and staff who contributed in productive and positive ways to the learning and social environments of WHS.
On May 23rd, nineteen students, and five staff members were invited to the third Breakfast of Champions to be recognized for their work with a certificate and a t-shirt.
Students honored were (in alphabetical order) Talia Auen, Tyler Bartlett, Michael Curtis, Sierra Daney, Caleb Heyland, Angela Leone, Anna Libby, Hannah Moody, Natasha Nugent, Allyson O’Brien, David Osterday, Adrienne Perron, Ivy Pevear, Al Ramsdell, Matthew Rogers, Colin Sevigney, Harold Weaver, Harrison Woodman, and Emilee Wooldridge.
WHS staff honored included Jay Audet, Elisa Beriau, Becca Follansbee, Emily Neville, and Karen Quint.
Special guests State Senator Ron Collins and State Representative Kathleen Chase attended the award breakfast to recognize State wrestling champions (and school champs) Michael Curtis and Colin Sevigney.
