In a year characterized by distancing, student council managed to bring their respective grades together with its annual tradition of “compliment sheets,” which consist of handwritten compliments from each class’s student council members to their peers.

This gesture never fails to brighten the recipient’s day. Due to COVID, many people have felt isolated and alone, and the personalized comments remind students that they are seen and valued. 

Though hopefully things will return to normal by this time next year, the compliment sheets will serve the same purpose: highlighting the kindness within the Academy community and bringing uplifting notes for friends who may be feeling down.
