Everson Guild Comet PRIDE Spirit Award

Everson Guild, a student of Grand Ledge Public Schools tragically passed away in the summer of 2017. While at Hayes, Everson demonstrated Comet PRIDE every day. He was compassionate, encouraging, determined and always a friend. Most of all, Everson was a vibrant spirit who was proud to be a Comet. The students chosen to receive the PRIDE Spirit Award demonstrate the same qualities that made Everson such a positive part of our Grand Ledge Public Schools community.

The Ev Effect Recipient program offers children at Grand Ledge Beagle Middle School the opportunity to give back to the Grand Ledge Community. When this program first began, 2017/2018 school year, students were selected based on their positive characteristics they showed throughout the school year. They were honored at their school assembly, received a plaque to take home and their name was added to a perpetual plaque that hangs in the halls of Beagle Middle School.

We are proud to say, in the 2022/2023 school year we were able to change things up and allow the students to create an even larger impact, by giving them a $250.00 budget to pay it forward in the way they deemed fit. Our children's recipients are paired with a teacher in their school, have a 1 year timeline to create a plan to choose their own way to share kindness, and the Ev Effect ensures their plan is executed.
