Previous Recipients

2021-2022 Recipient

Emma Flager

The Jackson McIntosh Carter Foundation is pleased to have presented the first Jackson Carter Kindness Award to Rogers High School senior, Emma Flager. During the 2021-22 school year, Emma learned of the illness of a classmate and the challenges his family faced. She humbly jumped into action; first, attending an early graduation celebration for the student, and then organizing a car parade to bring cheer to the student and his family. Sadly, her classmate passed away, but Emma continued to support his family by raising funds through a bake sale for a Memorial bench to be placed at the gravesite. One of the nominators wrote,(she) “did all of this out of the kindness of her heart. She did not ask for any kind of recognition. She only wanted to help the family.” Emma was presented the award at the RHS Scholarship Banquet this past May. We are excited to recognize and honor our inaugural recipient who has most certainly demonstrated Jackson’s spirit of generosity and kindness. Emma, thank you for continuing to ‘be the light’ that Jackson always was.

2022-2023 Recipient

Juan Diego Morales Reyes

The Jackson McIntosh Carter Foundation is pleased to have presented the second Jackson Carter Kindness Award to Rogers High School senior, Juan Diego Morales Reyes. Juan Diego has showcased his leadership and kindness throughout his time as captain of the soccer team. Leading the charge, Juan Diego and his teammates served the community through volunteer work at the annual Suicide Prevention and Awareness Hope Walk. Juan Diego has selflessly served his peers whether it be helping a fellow classmate learn and apply for scholarships to his future Christian Brothers University or helping out at many after school events to serve food. Juan Diego came up with the idea of awarding the team ball to staff members who have helped their teammates. His selflessness and kindness shines through - as a nominator wrote, "this respect for his teammates, peers, and the staff at RHS has truly made Mountie Land a better place, and our school will be a little dimmer without him in it". Thank you Juan Diego for continuing to 'be the light' that Jackson always was.
