Congratulations to the April Middle School and High School Students of the Month!
Middle School:
Peyton Klimek and Jocelyn Schaffran
High School:
Kira Quinn and Donell Lee
What Staff have to say about the students of the month:
- Peyton puts a great effort into his classwork, volunteers to read or answer questions daily, is willing to work with anyone and helps his table partner. He is respectful and is a good leader in the classroom.
- Jocelyn always has a positive attitude, works hard, asks questions, is respectful, and is such a calming presence in my classroom.
- Kira works hard in class and asks questions to get better. She always has her work completed and will email or stop in for help whenever needed. She has one of the best attitudes towards learning.
- Donell, despite the hurdles he has faced this semester, has continued to keep his grade up in a very tough chemistry class.
