January Faculty of the month Victoria Crane
I believe that this teacher should receive faculty of the month for the hard work she put out to get her singers ready for concerts. She also is always up to talk if you need anything. I love how her sense of humor makes her class enjoyable and that’s a class I always enjoy. She knows how to handle her classroom well and knows how to get our attention. She knows what her students like to sing and what we don’t.
She's a great person, truly an amazing teacher. Constantly listening to our tanagents, though occasionally we accidentally scar her with the things said. Whenever she's around we always find a way to laugh. She has taught us that being ourselves is never an issue, and to never let what someone says affects us. A great thing that she's done is create a complaint box, so if she's ever gone or we want to tell her something privately. Overall, she's just an amazing teacher, and person to be around.
January Student of the month Sammi Smith
This student’s dedication to her studies is truly commendable. She consistently goes above and beyond, completing her assignments with precision and timeliness. Regardless of the complexity of the task, Sammi approaches each assignment with a positive attitude and a strong work ethic, never hesitating to put in the effort required for excellence.One of Sammi's standout qualities is her quiet and astute nature. While she may not seek the limelight, her contributions to the classroom environment are invaluable.She possesses a keen intellect and is quick to grasp complex concepts. Her thoughtful insights not only enhance her own understanding but also contribute positively to the overall learning atmosphere.Meticulous is the word that comes to mind when describing Sammi's approach to her work. She is thorough and detail-oriented in every task she undertakes. Her commitment to producing high-quality work is evident in the consistent excellence she delivers. Her diligence sets a standard for her peers and creates a positive influence on the learning environment. In addition to her academic achievements, she is a respectful and supportive member of our school community. Her interactions with both teachers and peers reflect kindness and consideration, making her a positive influence on those around her. I believe that her dedication, work ethic, and positive influence makes her an excellent candidate for the Student of the Month recognition. Recognizing her achievements would not only acknowledge her hard work but also inspire others in our community.
