The Bourne School Committee has created an award that will recognize students who go above and beyond.
In June, nominated students who meet the criteria will become the first to be presented with The Navigator Award. Starting next year, the award will be given biannually in December and June.
The award is intended to recognize the students who represent the district s core values and its vision of a Bourne graduate.
District staff members are able to nominate students at any time throughout the year by filling out the designated Google form with the student s name, grade and a description of the student s qualities, actions and achievements.

Grinnell’s pizzeria Pagliai’s is teaming up with the Grinnell College’s Cultural Attaché Program to serve up some international flavors from Thailand, Brazil and India. In an event called Tastes of the World, Grinnellians had the chance to try some specialty pizza inspired by the tastes of Divyansh Singh `23, Carolina Novaes `23 or Sun Yuvachitti `24. Each student helped model a unique pizza after the cuisine from their home country through the partnership of the Cultural Attaché Program and Pagliai’s.
Although the program was slated to offer the pizzas through May 16, as of May 4 all have since sold out.
