October's Senior of the Month
Raneen Ali
This student is determined to excel in school and beyond. She has a passion for getting things right, including the "little things" that some would disregard or leave behind. Often, though, what sets one apart in a competitive world are, in fact, those finer points. Never one to shy away from difficult work, she has challenged herself this year to take AP U.S. Government and Politics, Spanish IV, and technical classes at MMTC. She puts in the work and is known by her peers and faculty as a bright student–she's taken the initiative of even starting to look for scholarships for NEXT year. She is kind, outgoing, and competitive, and she even advocates for other students to succeed at Winslow High School. She was a terrific leader and helper at the beginning of the year's freshmen orientation. She's an all around awesome kid, and her name is Raneen Ali.
October's Junior of the Month
Carter Calvo
Our Junior Student of the Month for October is someone who truly shows what it means to be a student-athlete. This student gives 100% in everything he does—both in the classroom and on the field. He leads by example with a calm, respectful attitude, and while he may not always be the loudest person in the room, his actions and work ethic speak louder than words. Teachers describe him as focused and responsible, and his coaches and teammates agree. He’s someone who makes good choices, even when it’s not easy, and that kind of integrity makes a real impact. His leadership, reliability, and positive example make him a great choice for Student of the Month. Congratulations, Carter Calvo!
October's Sophomore of the Month
Kayla Giroux
This student has earned recognition for her kindness, positivity, and determination both in and out of the classroom. She is always willing to try new things and advocates for herself and others in a polite and respectful way. In class, she consistently participates in discussions, asking great questions and helping to push her learning community forward. She does what she can, and often a lot more, while always maintaining a positive attitude. Her teachers have never seen her in a bad mood or heard her complain, and they admire how friendly and polite she is with everyone around her. Beyond the classroom, she brings the same energy and drive to the soccer field, where she has already scored an impressive TEN goals this season. Her kind and joyful spirit, along with her determination to succeed, make her a true role model for her peers. For these reasons, we are proud to recognize Kayla Giroux as Student of the Month.
October's Freshmen of the Month
Emma Damren
This month's outstanding freshman is an excellent student. She helps keep energy up during class discussions, is focused academically, turns in high quality work that shows attention to detail, and is always attentive in class. Despite her academic excellence, she is someone you may not notice right away. She is quiet and does her best to blend into the background. Once you take the time to get to know her personally, you find someone who is funny, genuine and kind. For all these reasons, we are happy to announce October's Freshman Student of the Month is Emma Damren!
