Faculty Group
Book Award Nominations

Subject:

Dear Esteemed Faculty,

I would like to share the chosen candidates for junior book awards this year. The students were chosen based on
academic achievement and other considerations after conversations with honors level junior teachers, guidance
counselors, our campus minister, and members of the administration. We offer the following list for your consideration,
and would appreciate any feedback you have. We definitely don't want to miss considering a student who you believe is
deserving of recognition, so please let us know if you believe we have overlooked a special junior level student. Please
find the criteria for the institutions below as well. Also, please do not tell the students they have been nominated, so
that we can keep the winners a surprise until our academic awards! @ thanks.
