Congratulations to our September Students of the Month in the Jr High and High School, Izzy Bueno and Zepplin Hebert!
About Izzy, her teachers shared: 1) I am nominating Izzy for her friendly and positive character. She is always willing to help those around her with whatever they need. She is always the first person to volunteer, answer questions, and a hard worker. 2) Izzy is an all-around great student. She is polite and respectful. She is also a very hard worker. She comes to class excited to learn and participate!
About Zepplin, his teachers shared: I have been so impressed with his work ethic this year! He consistently works hard in Earth Science, stays focused and on task, and is always willing to help his classmates when they need it. He comes to class with a great attitude and has such a fun personality that adds so much to our classroom.
Thank you for being AWESOME!
