Marlboro Middle School honors Students with Admirable Traits

Posted

On Thursday, May 9, 2019, the Marlboro Middle School hosted their annual S.W.A.T. Breakfast. S.W.A.T. recognizes Students With Admirable Traits. Twenty-five students from the Marlboro Middle School were selected by their teachers, from all curriculum areas, for exhibiting admirable traits both during and beyond the school day. The Marlboro Middle School strives to encourage students to possess admirable characteristics that will support their development into successful citizens.

Students, their parents, teachers and staff, Mrs. Clinton, MMS Principal, and Mr. Stanmyer, MMS Assistant Principal, gathered in the Marlboro Middle School for an honorary breakfast where students received awards for their achievements.

Marlboro High School’s Valedictorian for 2019, Matthew Jackson, was the guest speaker.

Jackson spoke about how vital it is for students to guide and support one another. He discussed the importance of making smart decisions and staying on the path to success. He shared that the students would be more receptive to hear insight from a peer then a teacher, showing that students have the power to change the world. He challenged them to help their peers and to always do the right thing, even if it is not the most popular choice.

Matthew himself was a S.W.A.T recipient five years ago, and his younger sister Emma, a current sixth grader, was a recipient during this reception. His speech was very close to home. Emma Jackson was proud to say, “Matt has always inspired me to work hard and never give up. It was so cool to have him at my school as the guest speaker for my award ceremony. I know first hand that he has great advice
