🌟 GOLD STANDARD SPOTLIGHT 🌟
The Gold Standard Student Award officially launches in September, but we couldn’t wait to recognize two Wilton students who have already been setting the GOLD STANDARD through their leadership and service this summer.
💙💛 Weston Stranberg and Connor Thornton, sophomores at Wilton High School, have volunteered at multiple Junior High lifting sessions over the past several months. Both have been exceptional role models for our younger students, sharing their knowledge, providing encouragement, and leading by example.
Their positive attitudes and willingness to give their time have made a real impact on students in our community.
🏆 WESTON STRANBERG
Parents: Matt & Angie Stranberg
Activities: Football, Baseball, & Wrestling
What Weston enjoyed most:
Watching the younger students improve their lifting form over time and seeing them push themselves to lift more weight and accomplish things they couldn’t do when they first started the program.
🏆 CONNOR THORNTON
Parents: Eric & Emily Thornton
Activities: Football, Basketball & Track & Field
What Connor enjoyed most:
Seeing every athlete progress and improve each week—whether it was in strength, technique, or attitude.
Weston and Connor are great examples of what the Gold Standard is all about: leadership, effort, character, and making a positive impact on others.
👏 Thank you, Weston and Connor, for investing your time in our younger students and helping make our community stronger.
We also want to thank Fire Nutrition in Durant for generously providing gift cards to recognize these two outstanding young leaders!
💙💛 Strong students. Strong community. DAM STRONG.
