WCSS STUDENT EXCELLENCE AWARD
The WCSS is pleased to offer many awards recognizing teachers, leaders and organizations that help support the goals of WCSS. One of these goals is to improve social studies teaching, develop the professional interests of social studies instructors, and cooperate with other organizations working for a better social understanding in the state, nation, and world. While the WCSS shares your passion for teaching and your interest in working with outside groups to improve Social Studies instruction, we also hope to focus on another important stakeholder: our students.
The WCSS Student Excellence Award, was founded based on a simple concept; our students are capable, and are doing amazing things promoting social studies in our communities, state and around the world. The award was originally suggested and agreed on based on a student in western WI who held several fundraisers, raised awareness, and ultimately sent enough money to provide a new well for school aged students in Uganda. Students who recognize a need and a desire to help people are deserving of our respect and our recognition.
