SJHS Merit Project Students Earn Awards

The Stillwater Junior High School held their end of the year award ceremony for merit students during which they are presented an award based on their ability to meet or exceed set criteria related to the student’s selected project.

Students complete merit projects outside of the school day, and they do not necessarily need to connect the projects with a specific class.  After four to five months, students present their merit projects to a panel of judges for evaluation of content, product aesthetics, and product and presentation interest.

The following students earned an Achievement Award:

  • Lauren Snyder and Lindy Einan 
  • Andrew Weigel 
  • Emma Harvieux
