Though individual teachers may give classroom awards, the Lower School has three awards that are granted annually to students in grades one to five. This award is given to any student whose absences are equal to or less than three throughout the school year. Each group of five late arrivals to school will be counted as one absence. Those students who are Good Samaritans in their daily walk with the Lord at school and impact the classroom for Christ receive this award.
Teachers nominate students for the Timothy Award.
In nominating individual students, teachers must provide anecdotal evidence supporting the nomination. The Lower School Awards' Committee receives all nominations, seeks additional data, if required, and approves the final list of award recipients.
