Our students have been doing an amazing job, so for the month of September, we couldn't pick just 2. We wanted to recognize 6 students for doing an amazing job and practicing their Vulcan Values. Krystina Velasco (12th) Krystina is very responsible and she already has the requirements to be a paramedic. She always has a great attitude and a smile. Daveon Parker (7th) While in the cafeteria, Daveon noticed a 6th-grade student sitting alone. He approached the student, had a conversation, and then invited him to join Daveon and his friends. Maya Cudd (6th Maya is a wonderful friend and academic peer support for her classmates. She serves as a great role model and is always willing to lend a helping hand to get her classmates back on track. She ensures to involve them in conversations. Bailey Smith (8th) Bailey demonstrates kindness to her classmates by ensuring everyone feels included, making her a valuable team player. Carmen Hernadez (10th) Carmen has been working extremely hard in class to understand concepts to get help when she needs it. She has greatly improved in her desire to succeed academically and it is showing in the classroom. Harrison Costanza (8th) Harrison was waiting in the office for his father when he noticed Mrs. Porritt cleaning the office door window. He opened the door and asked Mrs. Porritt if she would like him to clean the inside of the glass for her. He then held out his hand for her to hand over the supplies. Harrison is always polite and kind when he is in the office, and this was definitely going above and beyond with this kind gesture. We would like to express our gratitude to Vassar True Value for their ongoing support of this program and the development of our students and community. The winners receive a certificate to redeem at the store and also receive a prize. These students were all nominated by a staff member who recognized their outstanding contributions.
