JANUARY STUDENTS OF THE MONTH

 

Kindergarten - Kristin Burgos

 

K-2ıs SOM for January is an exceptional child.  She is the perfect example of what an all- around great student is all about.  She enjoys listening to stories, singing, writing, drawing, and doing art projects.  Day after day, she gives every lesson her best effort.  If she doesnıt understand something, sheıll let me know and ask for help because she cares about learning.  She cares so much that sheıll come in and ask questions or make comments on the previous nightıs homework.  Good behavior is also important to this student, as she is always thoughtful about trying hard to follow all of the classroom rules.  Congratulations to K-2ıs SOM, Kristin Burgos.

 

1-1 Nestor Pimental

It is only fitting, that as we cap this wonderful week when we celebrate catholic schools the class of 1 ­ 1 can uphold a shinning example that lights the classroom. This young child has a shy way about him in class, yet beams with delight as he plays in the yard with his classmates. I know the cold winter months are hard on him. He constantly shows a beautiful and sweet love toward his younger sister. His classmates see him as good friend who is always willing to share a pencil or assist in solving a word problem.  May our blessed lord and his most glorious mother continue to bless this child with their love. For the month of January,

Class 1-1 has chosen Nestor Pimental as their shinning star.

 

1-2 Genesis Ortiz

The SOM for January is a student who is truly a pleasure to have in our class. This young lady is a perfect example of what a good student should be. If you come into our classroom you will always find her hard at work. She is always prepared for class and her work is always done neatly. Her quite demeanor and seriousness would make you think she is not friendly. On the contrary she is a sweet and friendly girl. When her classmates are in need she is always there to help. When you hear this students name you will understand why she is our SOM. If she continues down this path, I see a bright future for this young lady. I will need your help in order to call her name. Ready! G-E-N-E-S-I-S! What does it spell! Genesis! Congratulations to class 1-2 SOM Genesis Ortiz.

 

2-1 Justin Chery

During Catholic Schools Week, we are celebrating Catholic Schools Light the Way.  Our student of the month exemplifies this idea.  He is excited about school and eager to learn.  He has many interests and always sits at his desk doing some activity, whether it is one I assign or one he asks to do.  He is prepared for class everyday, he contributes interesting facts and he has become the classıs official speller.  This child truly can ³light the way² for other students.  We are proud of Justin Chery 2-1ıs SOM for January.

 

2-2 Alyse Mills

In the midst of what seemed to be a chaotic and stormy January we take time to recognize one student who tried to instill calm, patience, and peace. This student has not uttered an ill word toward another. She is a student who consistently shows respect to her classmates and teachers and has demonstrated great effort towards all her work. She is certainly a remarkable student who is attentive in class and quick to respond to directions. She is also a creative student as shown by her unique visual presentation of her social studies project. What a pleasure she is to have in our class. May her beacon of light continue to shine bright for all to follow.  Congratulations to our SOM,

Alyse  Mills.

 

3rd  Lesley Pagan

There is nothing more gratifying to a teacher than to find a student that has not only learned what has been taught, but has absorbed the material and applied it in some new and meaningful context.  It is this type of student that inspires teachers to carry on.  I have been blessed with just such a gem in my class.  She is a beacon of light whose character is true to the theme of Catholic Schools Week.  May she continue to inspire others as she has inspired me.  She is Lesley Pagan.

 

4-1 Christian Tavarez

Exemplary is the first word that comes to mind whenever I think of this student. Other words that describe him are conscientious, respectful, prayerful, concerned, quiet and aware. He never fails to provide his classmates with a positive example of what they could and should be doing at any given moment. For this reason, he is a valued and important member of class 4-1. With confidence, we look forward to seeing him continue to achieve and succeed as he   works his way through fourth grade. Congratulations to him.  He is Christian Tavarez.

This month's SOM Award goes to Tiffany Santos.

 

7-1 Rachid Telfort

Since the beginning of the school year, this student has been the type of person that has exhibited great respect towards classmates and teachers. It has been a pleasure having him in my class because no matter what the situation, he always remains composed, cool, and cooperative. Even as we entered a new year he has continued to surprise me with his calmness and quiet demeanor. Never has he had one bad thought or word towards another person and his helpfulness has been much appreciated. His grades reflect his hard work and positive attitude towards learning and I am glad he is once again the recipient of this award. Happy New Year to Januaryıs SOM and may the year continues as positively as it started. Good job and keep up the good work. 7-1ıs SOM for January is Rachid Telfort.

 

Jenme Sanchez

I have seen this student blossom from a quite student to a very pleasantly sociable student.  He has also improved academically, moving from one to another.  He has proven that hard work and determination does pay off.  This student is always prepared and enjoys participating in class discussions. He is extremely inquisitive and keeps me on my toes and  because of him, Group One always has to research something. They love him sooo much. This student is such a tremendous pleasure to have around.  Seeing him everyday with that big beautiful smile really makes my day. Iım pretty sure his peers feel the same. It is my pleasure that I present to Januaryıs student of the month Jenme Sanchez.

 

8-1 Ayana Holloway

³ If you knock the door shall be opened to you.² This student knocks then waits politely, and then knocks again. She is calm, cool and collected, however she is equally aggressive in her dedication to achieve academic success. She is a joy to teach, congratulations to Ayana Holloway, 8-1ıs January Student of the Month!!!

 

8-2- John Daniel

Half of the school year has passed.  Midterms are behind us and our 8th graders have received their high school results.  Yes, just two more quarters and soon you will be on your merry way to begin a new journey in your lives, high school.  Before that journey begins, much work needs to be done and for some there must be a growth in the level of maturity.  Many of you have grown and have matured plenty throughout this past year.  One student that particularly comes to mind is John Daniel.  He comes to class ready to do work, stays out of trouble, he is polite and he is a very pleasant young man to have as a student.  Keep up the good work and make us all proud as you wear the colors of Holy Name as a badge of honor.
