Novak Academy

A lot of amazing people leaving this place to go do great things!

Congratulations to Ryan O'Connor for being awarded one of the CU Schools Foundation Shining Star Award. he is being recognized for his commitment to student success and leadership in creating a trauma-responsive a learning environment. According to fellow Novak teacher Randi Wenzel, "His ability to balance rigorous academic expectations with empathetic, authentic relationship-buikding ensures that students feel both challenged and supported in reaching their full potential."

But if you ask him, "Any success I have comes from working with an amazing staff and admin at Novak that supports me, even when my ideas are way out there. Any success I have is directly attributed to them."

We are getting so close, but it still feels so far. So to shake off those snowy winter blues, we are going to celebrate every day of our last week before winter break.
