Night of ChampionsCongratulations to two Green Bay Area Public School District students and one district coach who were honored at the 12th Annual Bellin Health Sports Medicine Night of Champions on Sunday, May 5 in the Lambeau Field Atrium. According to Bellin’s website, the Night of Champions was created to honor those who contribute more than just athletic ability to the world of sports. The award focuses on an athlete’s character as well as their abilities, on their commitment rather than their statistics, and their academic and community involvement in addition to their athletic achievements. The Night of Champions awards not only great athletes, but great people who put their energy into the positives of athletics while maintaining those values that are missing in today’s environment.

District award recipients are as follows:
• Coach of the Year: Bryce Paup, Southwest High School
• Breakthrough Athlete of the Year: Natisha Hiedeman, Southwest High School
• Night of Champions MVP Award: Armando Torres, East High School

To be chosen for these awards, recipients had to be nominated, and had to meet the following criteria:
• All winners must display outstanding sportsmanship, dedication, positive attitudes, and respect for others.
• All winners must have had contact with Bellin Health, Bellin Health Sports Medicine, Orthopedic Sports Medicine Specialists, or a Bellin Health partner.
• All winners must show a great commitment and achievement in athletics as well as academics and community involvement. We are looking for individuals and teams who excel not only on the field of play, but also in the classroom and community. We are looking for the “total package” individuals and teams.

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Paup, Natisha and Armando on this exciting honor! For more information on the awards, visit http://www.bellin.org/services_programs/night_of_the_champions#

Washington Middle School Announces New Mascot and Logo

WMSLogo2Clr_Blk_PMS1797After receiving input from community members, staff, parents, alumni and students, Washington Middle School is proud to announce their new mascot name and logo: the Washington Middle School Heat! The campaign to change Washington’s school colors and logo began when it was announced that in the 2014-15 school year, Washington Middle School will align with East High School’s current fine arts curriculum.

The new color scheme will support the relationship between the two schools, while still allowing Washington to have its own identity. To create the logo, Washington art teachers Cathy Lindsley and Joseph Backmann took input and logo designs from students, and created a draft logo that was sent to BarkinSpider Studio to be formalized. Students involved in the design process include: Greta Schwiesow, Abby Heil, Lisa Kong, Wilfred Callahan, Sonia Koehler, Zyliah Schuler and Erick Carranza.

Four community members and alumni of the Washington Junior High class of 1947 also met with Assistant Principal Travis Lipsh over spring break to share photos, memorabilia, and help paint a picture of Washington’s school history. This group included Richard Flint, Bill Magaurn, Eugene Mead and Dick Hawley.
