CAPSS Award Winners

By |

It is with great pleasure that I announce the recipients of the 2019-2020 Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents (CAPSS) Student Award recipients for the Suffield Public Schools. This year’s honorees are Kati Davis (Grade 12) and Anna Washburn (Grade 8). Adding to her collection of awards and recognitions, Kati Davis was nominated by the faculty and staff of Suffield High School to receive this year’s recognition. Kati currently serves on Class Council, as treasurer for the class of 2020, and courageously completed back-to-back shifts in the dunk tank during Suffield on the Green. In addition to her efforts in organizing the Dustin Doyon Road Race, she participated in several community cleanups, Readers for Leaders, the Chick-Fil-A Leadership Academy, and was a recipient of the Rochester Young Leaders Award.
