Morley's Gold Stars - May 2007
Each year, the LPS Foundation sponsors two Gold Stars from every school in the Lincoln Public Schools. This year, Morley honors Mrs. Linda Churda and fifth grade student Craig O. Congratulations to our Gold Stars for 2006-07!
Craig O. is a model fifth grade student at Morley. Craig brilliantly demonstrates his passion for math, as evidenced in a recent on-line math league. Craig equally excels in all academic areas, earning superior scores.
Just as impressive, is Craig's character as a student and a young citizen. Craig is always ready to help others, showing his high level of compassion, responsibility and friendship. Craig's positive and thoughtful leadership for and with his classmates, is also, championed by his ability as a strength finder and spirit lifter!
Craig is the son of Lynette and Darin O. Craig has two sisters, Brenna and Leah, and one brother, Scott.
Linda Churda is a special Morley friend, neighbor, grandmother, and volunteer. For the past five years, hardly a day goes by when you don't see that beautiful smile of Linda's, somewhere at Morley, and performing acts of kindness from her head, hands, and heart!
Linda has been a classroom volunteer, copy room volunteer, room grandparent/parent volunteer for special events, and Library Media Center volunteer. Linda's shares and uses her gifts in being an organized leader for volunteers with her never-ending commitment. With these strengths and energy, Linda is the picture of the perfect volunteer, strongly impacting excellence at Morley School.
Linda's grandson, Jackson, is now in the fourth grade at Morley. Linda has served as a great advocate for Jackson and other youth, in her other volunteer roles as Cub Scout Master and Junior Achievement Consultant. Linda is married to Alan Churda.
Both fifth grade student Craig O. and Mrs. Linda Churda were honored on Wednesday evening, May 2, at the LPS Gold Star Banquet. We are so very proud of these two Gold Stars!
