Student of the Week for January 5 - 9, 2015

The Junior High Department selected Rissa as Student of the Week for the following reasons:

Rissa is a phenomenal voice in the English classroom. She is focused, diligent, cheerful, and has already grown tremendously as a reader and writer this year. She sets challenging goals for herself and not only accomplishes them, but exceeds them. She read eight books over Christmas break, taking the opportunity to push herself personally, beyond regular expectations. This is but one example of how Rissa continually "steps it up" as a learner. Keep up the great example, Rissa! - Ms. Purevsuren, English Teacher

Rissa is an exceptional young student. She always has a smile on her face and is always willing to do whatever needs to be done. She continually gets all of her homwork turned in on a regular basis and constantly asks for help when she needs it. She comes into science on a regular basis to check answers and make sure the work she is doing is great. Keep up the great work Rissa! It will pay off in the end. - Mr. Gibson, Science Teacher & Cross Country Coach

Rissa is the daughter of Florinor & Elsa Bucaneg.
