MARCH STUDENTS OF THE MONTH
Kindergarten - Keiji Lohier

The SOM for March is a child who is slowly breaking out of
his shell just in time for Spring.
He hasnıt spoke much at all since he started school. I knew that he was very smart because
it showed in his work but I couldnıt get him to talk. When he finally felt more comfortable to talk in
class, we just couldnıt hear him.
With a little egging on from his classmates he started to speak loud
enough for us to hear him. Now we
can hear all of the wonderful things this child has to say. He is even going around class
campaigning for Barrack Obama!
Congratulations to Kindergartenıs March SOM, Keiji Lohier.
1-1 Adriana
Aponte

As the bleakness of winter gives way to the warmth of longer days,
grade one holds one child above all others as student of the month. This child
is very helpful to all her classmates. She is working very hard and gaining
great knowledge of all her skills. By being faithful to making donations to the
missions, she has shown she understands the call of Jesus to assist the poor.
As she is the apple of her dad's eye, she is very special to class 1-1.
Congratulations to Class 1-1 SOM. Adriana Aponte.
1-2 Nia
Vasquez

As we begin the month of March we think about shamrocks, leprechauns
and pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. This student is the pot of gold at
the end of the rainbow. She is courteous, respectful, studious, responsible,
and polite to name a few of her best qualities. She is also a good classmate,
when they are in need she is always prepared to help them. Everyday she comes
into class with a positive attitude, her homework is completed and done neatly
and she is prepared to learn the dayıs lessons. I am happy to have this student
in my class.
May Saint Patrick and all of the angels in
heaven continue to guide and protect her. Congratulations! to Class 1-2
SOM Nia Vasquez.

things. He is a great friend to
others. He gives his best in all

in how well he treats others. We

2-2 Crissel Mejia.

2-2ıs Student of the Month
came to Holy Name School in September from St. Francis. Over the months second
grade presented quit a challenge but recently she has started to gain her
stride. She has shown great determination, perseverance, and courage. She is
always trying, willing to participate, and attempts all assignments presented
to her. Our SOM often reminds us of the story The Hare and the Tortoise for she
is certainly trying to live the saying: slow and steady wins the race. We hope
she will continue making great progress along the second grade race path
towards the finish line in June. We will all be there cheering her on. Congratulations to Crissel Mejia.
3rd
Grade Julia Betancourt

As we spring forward this month, I find myself wishing I could spring
forward ten years to see the many marvelous accomplishments that I am sure this
student will achieve. I predict
great success as a possible author and illustrator for this student, and I hope
to be present for her first book signing.
She is Julia Betancourt!
4-1 Justin
Gelin

There is a young man in Class 4-1 who has been patiently and steadily
working to earn the honor of being our student of the month. This month all his hard work has been
rewarded. The boy we honor this
month makes his presence felt in a quiet, helpful and pleasant way. He continually does his best
academic work and treats his classmates with respect. Yet he likes having fun and is very enjoyable to spend time
with. With so many great
qualities, he is bound to be successful wherever life takes him. We are very proud of this boy and wish
many blessings for him. Our
student of the month is Justin Gelin.
4-2 Taliyah
Rivera

The SOM for March is truly a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. She is polite, hard working, and just a
joy to have around. I have never
heard her utter a mean word to anyone; she has excellent grades, and always has
a cheery smile upon her face. Like
a leprechaun she is small in size but huge in character. Irish eyes were truly smiling at me
when Taliyah Rivera walked into my class. May your blessings outnumber the
shamrocks that grow, and may trouble avoid you wherever you go. Congratulations!
5-1 Chaz Marshall

In the beginning this student
was the class entertainer, and a bit sarcastic. Like spring in the air, the new
season has brought a new positive attitude toward school and classmates .
Hopefully this new change will follow thru the upcoming seasons.
Class 5-1 is proud to have
chosen Chaz Marshall as Marchıs SOM.
5-2 Kylie
Reyes

5-2ıs SOM is quiet and respectful. She is courteous and helpful to her
peers. She has made diligent
progress in all academic areas and she is determined to succeed. She has gained
confidence because she is now more eager to participate during class.
Congratulations, to March SOM, Kylie Reyes.
6-1 Adrian
Gooding

Marchıs student of the month is someone who extracts the most from his
schooling. For him each new day is
an opportunity to expand his mind.
He always asks the questions that show that he has not only paid
attention, but that he is capable of advanced conceptual thought. It is truly a pleasure to have him in
our class. Congratulations to
Adrian Gooding.
6-2 Rafael
Vega

This student is a pleasure to teach. He takes his work seriously and always tries his best. He is an independent thinker that
enjoys expressing his thoughts and ideas with the class. It is my pleasure to have him in my
class. This monthıs SOM Award goes to Rafael Vega.
7-1 Chantal Mota

I love the month of March because it starts one of my
favorite seasonsSpring. This season brings new things and 7-Marchıs SOM brings
something new to the classroom everyday. Her attitude is pleasant and her
ability to adjust to any situation is appreciated. No matter if I am fussing or
laughing, she turns all situations into a positive one. She is an excellent
student and her 90+ average says it all. I am glad to have her in my class
again and I congratulate her for doing an excellent job. No more scrunchies and
keep your head held high.
Congratulations to Marchıs SOM Chantal Mota.
8-1 Stephon
Mosley

The first thought upon meeting this student is, ³Wow, he is a tall
one!² Sometimes, I chuckle when I realize that, I will always know when this
student approaches due to the immediate shade he produces. Even though, he is
known for his height, this student is also inherently polite. If another
student drops a book he is the first to pick it up and give it back. If a
student has trouble reaching something he offers his service without being
asked. Even though he can be a bit chatty, he is a gentleman to the core and a
tribute to his parents. His academic performance has improved tremendously,
indicating his decision to do well in life. These qualities, I believe will
carry him far in life. Congratulations to Stephon Mosley, 8-1ıs
March Student of the Month.
8-2 Destinyee Green

One of the first things that pops into my mind every morning when I
come into work is, ³I wonder how many kids are going to be out today?² Itıs funny, some kids are out a lot for
legitimate reasons, and others are just out because they have been fooling
around in class and the big test is tomorrow and they havenıt studied. Well, as far as I can remember, I look
at the tables and I see an individual that is a constant in my class. She always does her work and if
sheıs confused about something, she raises her hand or sees me after class for
help. This young lady is constantly volunteering to help out even when sheıs
pressed for time. The one thing I
admired most about this young lady is that she uses mind over muscle. This young lady realized that
graduating from school and honoring her parents with that very important gift
was more important than showing off to her friends. This is the act of someone who is brave and a person who
stands out as an individual with strong convictions always thinking of others.
Class 8-2 is proud to announce Destiny Green as student of the month
for March.
