| High School Students of the Month |
The HS Peer Mentoring Club honored two students recently for actively making a difference in the lives of others at the High School: Larry Sedgwick was nominated by music teacher Sue Jacobs, who said: "Larry's involvement in the school's music program, as well as being president of his class, are secondary to his overall upbeat personality, extremely positive attitude and cooperative nature in the classroom. Larry's smile is contagious!" Dakota Danner was nominated by teacher Maureen Leary, who explained: "When he found out that a student had no friends in his assigned lunch period, Dakota went out of his way to invite this student to join him at his lunch table. He is a true example of a good friend!" |
