April 2025 Students of the Month
9th grade Student of the Month
9th:
Lilly Jimenez (2 Nominations): Lilly’s progress this year has been truly remarkable. She is one of the most resilient and hard-working students I’ve ever known. She has become a leader in shop and in her academic classes and positive self-advocate, and is lovely to know as a person. Lilly never shies away from a challenge. She sets high standards for herself and often goes above and beyond what is asked of her. She is undoubtedly deserving of this award. -Ms. Mariano
Lilly demonstrates a positive attitude towards the school and the people in it. She has an outstanding dedication to academics and shop by being here every single day. She is very kind and always seen as a role model to her peers. Lilly has grown in her communication skills by emailing teachers with questions she has on difficult content, and has learned to speak up in class when material needs clarifying. Due to this others around her have picked up on her leadership skills and made improvements themselves. Lilly is a true lead by example. -Ms. Warner
10th Grade Student of the Month
10th: (Tie)
Hadeel Elfgeeh I wanted to nominate Hadeel as she has gone above and beyond to show her dedication to Health Tech. She has great attendance and has started spending her own time volunteering at The Hospital of Central Connecticut. She has a great sense of humor, but knows when to put her professionalism hat on. She is a pleasure to have in the Health Tech shop and will be a wonderful addition to the healthcare community. -Mrs. DeCusati
Roniel Taveras Guzman I’d love to nominate Roniel for Student of the Month. He’s the kind of student who doesn’t seek the spotlight but absolutely deserves it. Always kind, always respectful, and incredibly easy to work with—he’s someone you can count on to bring a calm, positive energy to any group. Whether he’s working quietly on his own or helping a classmate, he shows up every day with humility and a great attitude. He may not ask for recognition, but he’s more than earned it. -Mrs. Marino
