Congratulations to our Students of the Month for April and May:

Colby Orton (7th)

Colby is every teacher’s dream: he’s respectful, hard-working and fun to have in class. Who could ask for more?

Emma Lundell (8th)

Emma is always willing to help get things done, even when she has a lot of other things on her plate. And she helps with a smile on her face.

Marcos Godiñez-Vargas (7th)

Marcos is a very intelligent, hard-working guy who likes to fly under the radar. He never brags about his accomplishments, but just does whatever needs to be done, when it needs to be done.

David Wagner (8th)

David is a great student and tries so hard at everything he does.  He has amazing enthusiasm that just makes everyone around him happy.

Jessica Villatoro (9th)

Jessica has been working hard to keep her grades up and do well in school. When she understands math concepts, she enjoys helping her friends with their assignments. I have been impressed with her recent efforts to be prepared for class every day!

Natalie Spencer (9th)

Natalie is self-motivated and committed to her education.  I like that she's on the newspaper staff, has been an outstanding TA, contributes to the class discussions, and is an all-around example of excellence.
