Niles West’s annual You Make a Difference Breakfast was held Wednesday, October 21, at 7:30 a.m.
The event took place in the student commons. Students who were nominated had breakfast with principal, Dr. Jason Ness, teachers, and other staff members. The nominees were recognized for their hard work and dedication in various fields.
“Students are nominated by teachers and staff for the reason being they make a difference in either academics, sports, and community. They gave it their 110%,” executive secretary, Judy Wheatman said.
Students discovered if they were nominated in homeroom and received their invitation to the breakfast.
“I was honored and thrilled when I discovered I was nominated for this. It’s really nice to know that your hard work is being recognized and matters,” junior Haley Aichholzer said.
