11 Staples HS Students Receive 'Student Of The Month' Honors

WESTPORT, CT — Eleven Staples High School students were named Students of the Month for December and January, announced Principal Stafford Thomas Jr.

The Students of the Month award program recognizes students who help make Staples High School a welcoming place for their peers and teachers alike, according to the school.

"They are the 'glue' of the Staples community: the type of kind, cheerful, hard-working, trustworthy students that keep the high school together, making it the special place that it is," said Thomas in a statement.

Students of the month are nominated by their teachers, who are asked to think of those students who come to school regularly, are friendly to the staff and to fellow students, and make positive contributions in class as well as the Staples community.

The December and January Students of the Month are:

Mary Bazile- Gr.9
Catherine Cunningham-Gr.11
Nicholas Porzio-Gr.9
Brandon Saunders-Gr.11
Tucker Peters - Gr. 9
Maya Vogelmann-Gr.11
Claire Railton-Jones- Gr.12
Autumn Smith- Gr.12
Matthew Lott-Gr.11
Logan Goodman-Gr.9
Sasha Hamer-Gr.12

In short, these students are all-around good citizens of our school, according to officials. Students of the Month are not necessarily star athletes, high honor students, or lead performers, and even if they are, this award recognizes the positive attitude they bring to school every day in making Staples High School a genial place in which to learn and teach.
