Ryley School celebrates excellence at awards night

It was a congregation of some of the best minds and overall personalities as students gathered on Thursday evening, Oct. 25 to receive academic, citizenship, and volunteer awards at the school gymnasium, besides some honorary ones.

“An awards night is an opportunity for the school and community at large to recognize the hard work and dedication to success each award recipient exemplifies,” said Vice Principal Jeff Manchak, who joined in this role earlier this year. “Each award has specified requirements which recipients must meet in order to receive an award.”

Manchak added that the awards night would not be possible without the support of the sponsors, “So I’d like to take the opportunity to thank them for their continued support.”
