CHENEY – High School officials have released a list of students named Students of the Month for December’s PACE (Partners Advancing Character Education) character trait: Caring.
The students are Jenae Potter, Kaitlyn Burts, Tyler Flock, Valerie Hanes, Sean San Pedro, Savannah Palanuik, Deegan MacFarlane, Morgan Bro, Nicolas Monzingo, Ava Roettger, Kate Rogers, Carter Lefler, Camden Fraser, Austin Brown, Hope Konig, Natalie Emery, Logen Weekley, Kennedy Prescott, Aine Jessel, Isaac Johnson, Makenna Wieck, Samantha Habegger, Peyton Knox and Quintin Kraft.
PACE began in 2009 in Spokane Valley and the Central Valley School District to promote the importance of good character through partnerships with schools, businesses, public agencies, residents, faith-based organizations and community service groups. Working from a common list of monthly character traits, partners promote and integrate each trait into the regular activities of the organization.
The idea for a West Plains Chapter of PACE came to fruition in 2013 as a result of collaborative efforts between Cheney Public Schools, Medical Lake School District and the West Plains Chamber of Commerce. Schools within three districts recognize students monthly for their exemplary character and, along with support from PACE sponsors, one student from each school is selected annually to be recognized during the West Plains PACE Awards Breakfast.
In 2017, a PACE Schools of Character initiative was launched, with Windsor Elementary in Cheney the first recipient of this honor.
