This year’s “Matter of the Heart” event at Renton High School was a beautiful celebration for the students who bring kindness, empathy, and positivity into our school community. Held on Friday, January 17th, 2025, the event was made even more special with the addition of families who were invited to witness their loved ones being honored for their compassionate contributions.

The highlight of the event was the recognition of students nominated by their teachers for demonstrating compassion and selflessness. Each teacher carefully selected one student and wrote a heartfelt paragraph describing the ways they have made a difference in the lives of their peers and teachers. These paragraphs were read aloud as the students took the stage to receive a medal and certificate, symbolizing their positive impact on our school.
