Owner Kayla Mark, 21, retuned home from work in Little Rock, Arkansas, when she found her five-month-old Goldendoodle puppy, Loui, had ripped up his bed and the baseboards.
Two Breckenridge Middle School eighth graders, Dawson Wienbar and Sydney Baumhardt, received the 2020 Run with Randy award.
The award is given to deserving students, usually a boy and a girl, in honor of Randy Berndt, a Breckenridge Middle School mathematics teacher and cross country coach who died in 2014.
The eighth grade staff choose the students each year based on exemplary character, ethics and kindness, something Wienbar and Baumhardt both embody, Breckenridge High School Principal Craig Peterson said.
âDawson and Sydney are good people. Good kids, character kids,â Peterson said.
Kayla Mark, administrative assistant for the middle and high school, said each year Berndtâs wife, Jana Berndt, presents the award to the recipients. The award is usually given in May at an assembly, but due to COVID-19, Wienbar and Baumhardt were just recently awarded.
