The Be A Nicer Neighbor Club recently hosted another successful and uplifting Live Like Susie Awards Ceremony, celebrating students who exemplify compassion, positivity and kindness.

More than a decade ago, Mr. Brooke Bonomi and members of the Be A Nicer Neighbor Club established the Live Like Susie Kindness Awards in memory of classmate Susie Facini. A beloved member of the school community, Susie served as vice president of the club and was known for her infectious positivity, cheerful spirit and unwavering kindness. Following her sudden passing, her peers sought a meaningful way to honor her legacy and inspire others to emulate Susie’s spirit.

Each year, teachers and staff members nominate students who stand out as extraordinarily kind, caring and positive. These students are known for lending a helping hand, supporting their peers and making a positive impact on those around them. Through their thoughtful actions and compassionate nature, they truly “Live Like Susie.”
