Concerned that an annual honors night for students is too “exclusive,” officials at a Rhode Island school have decided to scrap the event.
An email sent out to parents of students at Archie R. Cole Middle School in East Greenwich said students who would normally be honored at the spring event would instead be recognized during team-based ceremonies and graduation, the East Greenwich Patch reports.
“This will afford us the opportunity to celebrate the individual and collective successes of all students and their effort, progress and excellence,” said the email sent out over the weekend, which was signed by Principal Alexis Meyer and Assistant Principal Dan Seger.
The email added that “Members of the school community have long expressed concerns related to the exclusive nature of Honors Night.”
Kaitlyn Kosloski, an eighth-grader at the school, expressed disappointment that the night was canceled.
“That made me [want to] work harder and a lot of other people work harder, so just the fact you can’t work toward it anymore then there is no goal,”
