Honors and Recognition

Winograd Student-Teacher is
University of Northern Colorado's
2011 Homecoming Queen
Valerie Homecoming queen
Valerie Marullo 
September 2011: Leaves are beginning to fall, cool air is present when we awaken, and the University of Northern Colorado Homecoming festivities occur. It is now officially the fall season in Northern Colorado. This year, it is especially wonderful for all of our Winograd Cubs as we celebrate the crowning of Valerie Marullo,  a student-teacher in Mrs. Allison's first-grade classroom.
 
Becoming a Homecoming Queen isn't as easy as it used to be. Miss Marullo went through a rigorous process in order to earn her crown. First, she had to be nominated. She was nominated by her boss at Bear Logic, a technology company at the University Center. She also had other friends who decided to nominate her. After her nomination, she had to complete an application that included essay questions to show evidence of her leadership roles at UNC, explain her major and area of emphasis, and how she intended to give back to our community. From the applications, UNC students were then subjected to an interview by university personnel. At that point, three finalists for king and queen were named. At that point, the voting was opened to all University of Northern Colorado students.
 
Ms. Marullo was crowned at the annual bonfire held the night before the Homecoming Game. She then rode in a convertible during the Homecoming Parade and was recognized at halftime of the football game. Staff members from H.S. Winograd were present at the game to cheer for her. She is a wonderful example of showing Winograd Cub COURAGE! Congratuations, Ms. Marullo, for your wonderful honor.
 
 
Third Grader Wins Bike

Aaron, a third grader at H.S. Winograd K8 School, won a bike by writing the top essay by a boy for the Grandparents Day Essay Contest. The contest is sponsored by the Senior Resource Services group of Greeley. Each year they invite third-grade students to write essays about why their grandparents are special. This year seven elementary schools participated, with more than 19 classrooms being involved. Three retired teachers from School District 6 reviewed over 400 essays to choose the top boy and girl entry.
 
Aaron's paper was chosen as the top boy entry for the contest. On Grandparents' Day 2011, Aaron attended a community celebration at Westlake Park in Greeley. He read his essay and received a new bike as his prize. Congratulations, Aaron! Thanks for showing Winograd CUB excellence.
