Today we proudly celebrated our October Heart of Gold Spartan Spotlight Awards at Rembrandt Secondary! 🌟
The Spartan Spotlight was created to recognize students who not only excel academically, but who also lead with kindness and compassion, the true marks of a Spartan. 💙
This month’s Heart of Gold Award honors students who show Social Awareness by treating others with respect and making our school a safe and welcoming place for everyone. These students stand up for others, offer a helping hand, and make sure everyone feels seen and valued.
Congratulations to our 5th–12th grade Spartans who were recognized today! You are the heart of our campus and a shining example of what it means to lead with love and respect. 💛
Together, we continue to build a campus where respect, responsibility, and safety are more than words, they’re the Spartan Way.
