Vinal Tech High School Students of the Month October 2018

With the first quarter of school behind us, it’s time for the Vinal faculty and staff to reflect on which students will earn the first official Student of the Month award. To earn this, students need to demonstrate a few things. They need to show focus and strong effort in both their academic classes and shop. In addition, students also need to reflect the ideals of Vinal, being a positive, kind, and respectful member of the school community. It is with great honor that the faculty & staff here at VInal would like to honor the following students for meeting this criteria, and overall impressing us with their drive and progress in the early months of the school year!

As a side note, there were many submissions for student of the month for this cycle, so making a decision was very difficult! As a staff we’d like to congratulate all students who were nominated, and encourage everyone to keep up the good work and look forward to being recognized in the future!

9th Grade: Sabrina Czapiga

Focused and intelligent, Sabrina always works very studiously in Language Arts to make sure she completes all her assignments on time. She is a true asset for the class, whether she is answering questions in class, helping peers understand questions, or completing reading and in-class activities. Sabrina always uses maximum effort in everything she does and gets rewarded with nearly flawless scores for most every assignment!

10th Grade: Connor Mitchell

Connor puts forth 100% effort, even if he is struggling to understand a concept or problem. He is comfortable with engaging in the classroom, as he often volunteers to read and contributes to discussion. He asks for help if he needs it and also cheerfully helps others as well. He is a pleasure to have in class and an excellent example of what a Vinal student looks like!

11th Grade: Nayelis Melendez

Nayelis is this year's Student Council president and she is amazing. She is respectful, responsible, and wonderful to work with. She has a talent with engaging with staff and students, and she takes her role seriously and expects everyone around her to do so as well. Nayelis performs well in all scholastic areas, including academics, the Council, and in shop. Mr. Crary, her shop instructor, has personally praised Nayelis’ excellent focus and serious effort for her work in her trade activities. Overall Nayelis is well-rounded and a great role model for all Vinal students!

12th Grade: Michael Sola

Since Michael began attending Vinal as a freshman, he has shown tremendous perseverance and growth. He has dealt with and overcome numerous obstacles as he continues to work for his high school diploma. Michael has a goal in mind and continues to exhibit the hard work it takes to reach it, no matter what. He is a hard working respectful young man who has a bright future ahead of him, and his dedication, focus, and drive cannot be overstated!
