V.M. is such a special young lady in second grade. She works hard in class, always taking notes on what is being taught in the classroom. She goes above and beyond in her daily learning and she is focused on her lessons. V.M. is a good friend to other students and helps out in all situations. Other children look to her for guidance in the classroom and at recess. She has many friends and is always willing to help them.

The intermediate student of the month has a curious spirit. He is witty, kind, and wise beyond his years. He is a friend to all. He stands up for what is right. The analytical questions he asks in class help improve his fellow students and his teachers. If you have a history question, he can most likely answer it for you. If you need a friend to talk to, he will listen. He is a problem solver. He is not afraid of a challenge. C.F. is a light in the lives of his peers, family, and teachers. We are lucky to have him!
Much like her softball, C.C.’s work is always characterized by dedicated effort. Her attention to detail means that her work is thorough and strong, but it is also characterized by an enjoyment of beauty and a sense of fun. She is a creative writer and a positive, collaborative classmate. She sees the best in others and approaches everyone with empathy. Her creative ideas shine through all she does and doesn’t finish until she is proud of her work.
P.W. is considerate, respectful, and dependable. She is a good friend to others and a conscientious student in the classroom. P.W. works very hard to find a deeper understanding of what she is learning. When faced with a challenge, she is persistent and always gives her best effort. In the hallway, in the classroom, or outside, P.W. makes everyone feel included, respected, and valued for who they are. P.W. has a sweet sense of humor and a smile that brightens each day. Her creativity and work ethic shine through everything she does. Be it as a dancer, a student, or just a teenager, P.W. strives to be the best version of herself. We are blessed to have P.W. as a student at our Holy Family Catholic School family.

Polite, kind, hardworking, and a kind friend to all are just a few ways we can describe P.S. P.S. is a light in the lives of his teachers and classmates. He is a quiet leader in our classroom and on the playground. He is very humble, curious, and respectful. P.S. shows incredible creativity throughout the day in his problem-solving skills, math, and his artwork. He sets a Christian example of how to treat others and his teachers. We are proud to have P.S. in our class and even more proud to have him as our February Primary Student of the Month.
It is our honor to present L.K. as the intermediate student of the month. L.K., although quietly introspective, is very altruistic. He continually seeks ways to help his classmates making sure understand newer concepts while making sure he himself is correct. He learns from his mistakes without letting them discourage him from his continual learning. I appreciate the knowledge he brings to class whether from his vast historical studies to his catechism classes teaching us new information in his very L.K. way. He brings a quiet sense of humor that adds a wonderful dimension to our class. His continual self-directed quest for knowledge and the desire to see others around him succeed is truly inspiring. I am excited to see where L.K. finds himself in the future.
If you have a Star Wars meme on your wall - it was because of B.B. If you were wondering where that student got a snack? It was because of B.B. If you were wondering who submitted the fluorescent green paper, it was B.B. Each person has qualities that one can rely on because they are performed with consistency. For B.B. those qualities include a sense of humor, having snacks, dedication, respect, determination, and growth. The Middle School teachers chose B.B. as their student of the month because he consistently puts in the effort to move forward in intellect and character. As with any middle schooler, B.B. has made a few mistakes but it is how he handled and learned from them that has built his character and helped him grow. Therefore, we are proud to select B.B. as the February middle school student of the month.

Our Primary Student of the Month is J.P. J.P. is a kindergarten student in Mrs. Younker's class and she has been a leader from the first day of school. She is a great listener and learner in class and she always follows directions the first time. She does a super job staying on task and she always completes her work. Her smile every day encourages her friends to be kind and positive. The saying "Spread kindness like confetti " fits J.P. because she always chooses nice words and she is kind to everyone.

There are many words in the English language that can describe a person, but two of the most important are: character and integrity. Those words summarize how you treat yourself and how you treat others. They state that who you choose to be is the same whether someone is watching or not, and those two words summarize C.B. C.B. is the student who will hold the door for you, pick up something you forgot, the one that says “good morning” and “thank you”. C.B. is the student who will ask for help, give help, accept anyone in her group, and works until it’s done right. She is very quiet, so watch out because you might miss it. Her best work is done when no one is watching. For the last three years C.B. has made it her mission to take charge of running the recycling for the whole school, or be the reason 140 middle school students walk in at 8:15 and find a message that tells them, “You are awesome!” Well, C.B., we think you are awesome and couldn’t be more proud to celebrate everything you do!

Educators of the Month
Volleyball coaches Buller and Benner
Coach Benner (7th grade)
Coach Benner influenced and impacted his student athletes well beyond the game of volleyball. We often measure a team’s success in terms of wins/losses, but the immeasurable impact of life lessons on student athletes is so much more important. Coach Benner’s leadership, calm disposition, and fire for competition will impact his team far into the future. He demonstrated hard work, sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership, and how to conduct oneself even during times of adversity. Coach Benner thank you for mentoring the 7h grade girls volleyball team.

G.B. exhibits numerous qualities that make him our choice for Student of the Month. These include courtesy, curiosity, honesty, kindness, politeness, and hard work. He shows these qualities through his relationships with his classmates, teachers, and everyone he encounters with a smile and a friendly hello. When a teacher wants students to clean desks or put up chairs, G.B. takes the lead with no questions asked. His calm leadership style is respected by his peers and teachers. He tries his best in all aspects of his life with gusto, especially swimming and frogs. His uncanny passion for frogs cannot be matched. When he finds something he likes he goes all out and learns as much as possible about it.
He is a great role model for his peers and for the younger students to look up to. The middle school faculty is proud to name G.B. as the middle school Student of the Month.
