2023 Heart of the Panther

Bonney Lake High School hosted the 18th Annual Heart of the Panther banquet on June 7 to honor 39 students who displayed POWER values in extracurricular clubs, activities and athletics. These individuals bring out the best in others, and themselves, through their strength of character and sense of service in the classroom and community or on the sports field and performance stage.
When nominating students, staff members selected a POWER principle that best describes an individual’s participation:
P = Perseverance
O = Ownership
W = Work Ethic
E = Engagement
R = Respect
Among the 39 nominees, there were four overall winners, who each received a $500 scholarship from the Sumner-Bonney Lake Education Foundation. Congratulations to:
- Hailey Littlefield (Educators Rising, FCCLA)
- Reece Long (Football)
- Andrew Perdue (Digital Media Club)
- Iris Rogel (Soccer, Track & Field)
