aplewood Academy is excited to announce that Shudear Ruach is the recipient of this year’s Caring Heart Award. We are incredibly proud of this young lady. Her hard work, compassion for others, and focus on Jesus have been an inspiration to us. While there is so much we can say about the ministries, teams and leadership roles Shudear has served in, her time at Maplewood is summed up well in a quote from one of our teachers: “I appreciate that it is important to her that anything she is involved in reflects Christianity well.” Congratulations, Shudear!

By putting the needs of others before his own, Cort embodies the spirit of the Caring Heart Award.
ylee Gareau has been making his influence felt at Dakota Adventist Academy since his sophomore year. Wylee leads through his willingness to serve. Among the places where Wylee’s Christian influence is felt, the basketball court looms large. His influence is such that coaches on opposing teams and referees know him by name. He has participated in international mission trips, Pathfinders and 4-H. Wylee, who serves as a senior class officer, will graduate with an enriched diploma in science and math, as well as a vocational endorsement for both construction and autos.

ayda Tamaleaa’s smile lights up the room. That’s the kind of person Jayda is. She is an encourager. She makes you better by being on your team! Whether it is being on the praise team at the New Haven Church or at Midland Adventist Academy playing varsity basketball or volleyball, singing in the choir or in Diversity, Jayda’s example makes people push themselves to be better. She is always willing to lend a hand in community service projects like making Thanksgiving baskets with volleyball teammates or volunteering at the New Hope Food Pantry. We are pleased to honor Jayda with the Caring Heart Award.
