NOVEMBER STUDENTS OF THE MONTH

Kindergarten  Michaela Joseph

The student of the month for November is a child who has tried to give more and more as each day passes.  She was very hesitant when the school year began to participate and share her thoughts with her classmates.  She is beginning to open up and she is showing everyone that even though sheŐs been quiet, she has been listening carefully.  Sometimes I ask the children to bring things from home that may pertain to a particular lesson and she is always the first one to bring those things in which shows how much she cares and loves school.  IŐd like to thank this child for being so thoughtful!  The Kindergarten student of the month is Michaela Joseph.

1st Grade  Che Stephens

The crisp air has come to settle in and thoughts now turn to a season of holidays. Holidays bring joy to all and this student brings joy to my First Grade. That great smile lightens the world.  It is with a spirit of thanksgiving that First Grade has a child of God who has taken the newness of First Grade and is progressing nicely. He settles down and quickly gets to work.   His is eager to assist his classmates in any way he can. When ask to help another classmate, he is never bossy but rather very understanding and kind. May God continue to bless him and his family. The student of the month for Grade One is Che Ste phens.

5-1 Carina Lopez

This student at an early age is concerned and curiously preoccupied with the hazards our worldŐs ecology. I would guess she will be a noted figure in leading our world to a safer, cleaner, and more pragmatic environment. She in such a short time is valued and respected by both her peers and teacher. Without a doubt Class 5-1 is proud to have selected Carina Lopez as NovemberŐs Student of the Month.

7-1 Lauren Fontanez

I remember about six years ago when this young lady walked into my 1st grade class. She was a great student back then and is a great student now. What I remember most is her ability to perform at the highest level at all times.

 

As a seventh grade student, she rarely misses a beat and shows respect to those that warrant respect. She has had her share of issues (drama), but what young lady has not gone through the trials and tribulations of being a girl. I am glad to see that through all of her issues, she has continued to be herself, a sweet young lady with a beautiful smile.

 

Her grades reflect her hard work ethics and attitude and she produces excellence each and every time. Her 90+ average tells all that she is, one of the best. I am glad to have her as   7-1Ős Student of the Month because she has grown from that little girl into a wonderful young lady. For those that do not believe, sit down and talk to her one day for you will see a positive change. Congratulations and good job,

Lauren Fontanez.

7-2  Jethro Dede

November is a month to be thankful.  I have to say, I am thankful for this student.  However, at first I was neither keen nor thankful of the idea of having a new student in my class.  Surprisingly enough, I quickly reverted my feelings.  This student is a breath of fresh air.  It is so refreshing to see a student just genuinely nice, pleasant, and polite.  On top of that, he has such a thirst for learning. Through his determination, in one month, he has managed to go from not speaking English to being able to communicate with his teachers and his peers. He has also adapted to the costumes of our family here at Holy Name. This student has come a long way, literally. 

He comes all the way from Africa.  One of our three PŐs in 7th grade is perseverance and he exhibits this each day as he overcomes obstacles such as language, culture, and newness. 

8-1  Krystal Vera

There is really nothing I can say about this child that is not pleasant. She is perfect! She is a delight to both her parents and teachers. She works hard and is incredibly well behaved; with these attributes she will bring joy wherever she goes in life. Bravo! Krystal Vera, 8-1Ős November Student of the Month.

 

8-2  Jonathan  Collie

The first quarter has come and gone and 8th graders are now beginning to see the fruits of their labor. Yes, thatŐs right, reality is setting in.  Soon it will be Thanksgiving and we will all be celebrating in one form or another for the blessings bestowed on us from our creator.   Others not so fortunate will finally be giving thanks to God for children like those in Holy Name School who contributed food so that those less fortunate can have a descent meal on such a special day.

 

When I think of Holy Name, many things come to mind and many people as well.  In homeroom 8-2 a special student comes to mind that truly reflects the spirit and wonder of Holy Name School.  This young man is bright, caring, polite and very helpful.  He has the potential of becoming a true leader. This young man has good morals, a testament to his parents, who have given him a great sense of family values. He heard of the Thanksgiving food drive; volunteered and took charge.  So far,  I can say that I am impressed with how much food has been collected and how many lives this young man has touched without realizing it.  Sometimes, being a straight A student is not everything in life.  As far as I am concerned, you are straight AŐs in the eyes of God and the many of those you will help feed this Thanksgiving.  God Bless you and all who helped on this food drive. Congratulations!  Jonathan Collie.
