Students of the Month

Jamie Dye, 8th Grade
Sebastian Mende, 7th Grade

Mrs. Boles says “Jamie is a treasure to have in class. She has a positive attitude and continually strives to keep her grades high. Jamie is very responsible and sets high standards for herself.”

Mrs. McLane reports “I have worked with Sebastian Mende since November. His main language is Spanish, so we’ve worked with him on his English vocabulary as well as his reading skills. When he started Read Right at the beginning of the school year, he began in red, which is the lowest reader level. He is now in Blue, the third highest level. He has done an excellent job and is the most improved student in the class!”
