Each month staff members nominate a student they want to recognize as “Eagle of the Month”. This month teachers nominated a student who shows “Empathy”. Of the students nominated, four are drawn at random to receive a lunch out at McPhee’s Grill on Main Street. Below are our winners with a brief explanation as to why they were chosen and below that are the other students nominated this month and the staff member who nominated them. Congratulations to all of our nominees.
ELLEN SHIRLEY
Ellen is the perfect example of an empathetic student. She always contributes to classroom conversations in a manner that shows she cares about all of her peers. She is one of the first to volunteer to help those in need, and she always has a kind smile for her fellow classmates. I have seen how kind she is to those around her. -- Nominated by Ms. Guerra
KEATON GOODMAN
“Keaton is a very caring and empathetic soul. Whenever he sees someone having a bad day, he is not afraid to approach them and ask how they are doing or try to make their day better. He loves celebrating his friends when exciting things are happening in their lives but also can recognize when they might be having a difficult time and is always willing to lend a listening ear. Keaton exemplifies what it means to be empathetic. ” -- Nominated by Ms. Arebelo
MADI PAISANO
“Madi is a kind, consistent young lady. She comes into class every day with a smile and her presence is uplifting. Her true character really shines when assignments are challenging or difficult. When things get hard, Madi is always ready to lend a helping hand or encourage her peers. She works hard to overcome challenges and her positivity impacts the environment of the whole class. -- Nominated by Mrs. Hayes
DIEGO PORRAS
“Diego is a great student and a wonderful person. He is kind, friendly, diligent, and empathetic. He is observant and emotionally intelligent. He recognizes when someone needs a little encouragement or kindness. He has a positive impact on the classroom environment and his peers. He's a delight to work with! -- Nominated by Mrs. Johnson
