Congratulations to the following Suffield High School students who were recent recipients of the North Central Connecticut Chamber of Commerce (NCCCC) Kindness Award: Azura Eckley and Aubrey Couchon.
The North Central Connecticut Chamber of Commerce recognizes an SHS student each month who has demonstrated exceptional kindness. For February, senior, Azura Eckley was nominated by Family and Consumer Sciences Teacher, Mrs. McCluskey. She wrote, “I have Az in my Fashion class and she has helped make such a positive experience for one of the special education students in the class. She has been a great, positive role model and a genuinely kind person. Az has shown empathy and compassion, helping her peers understand the concepts we have covered in class. I have witnessed her patiently demonstrate sewing and embroidery techniques, which has made a significant positive impact on her classmates. Her creativity, maturity, and overall positive presence enriches the Suffield High School community. It has been a pleasure getting to know her this semester, and I am thankful for all she brings to our class.”
