About 30 students were recognized in September and October as "Wolverines of the Week."
The recognition program is new to the school this year. School Dean Brianne Malatt brought the idea to after using it at another school district.
Students are nominated by their teachers. While one seventh-grader and one eighth-grader are to be recognized each week, if there are more students who deserve recognition, they will be recognized, she said.
