Bishop's Award: Jasmine Wong & Teah SimonThe Bishop’s Award goes to the senior who has given unselfish service to church, school, and community and who demonstrates outstanding witness to faith in Christ and commitment to principle.
Escorting this year’s winners are an influential history instructor and a research mentor. Mr. Kam Monaco and Ms. Joanna Kobayashi, please bring to the stage Jasmine Wong and Teah Simon. Jasmine is a four-year member of our Chapel Council and is also active as a sacristan at the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. She’s widely known for her amazing golf ability as well, having captured our first individual girls state championship just a few weeks ago. She cares passionately about character, integrity and appreciating one’s family history. She’ll be studying and golfing at Gonzaga University. Teah, who spoke so eloquently at last week’s Baccalaureate service, is escorted by her research mentor, Ms. Joanna Kobayashi. Last year, Teah conducted research on what motivates teens to consider plant-based diets, and that passion to understand what makes people tick captures Teah perfectly. She is a curious and accomplished student who also has served for four years on the Chapel Council, in addition to serving as a speech & debate captain, Senior Prefect and committed servant leader. Teah will be attending Brown University. Congratulations, Jasmine and Teah! |
