March 2025 Students of the Month
9th grade Student of the Month
9th:
Taylan Pina (2 nominations): Taylan demonstrates a positive attitude towards the school and the people in it. -Ms. Kosciukiewicz
He has outstanding dedication to his academics and shop by being here every single day. He is very kind and always seen as a role model to his peers. He is willing to help anyone and everyone that needs it. Taylan has also grown in his communication skills by emailing teachers with questions he has on difficult content, and he has learned to speak up in class when material needs clarifying. Due to this others around him have picked up on his leadership skills and made improvements themselves. He is a true lead by example.” -Ms. Warner
10th Grade Student of the Month
10th:
Jaskiel Colon Bautista: I was surprised Jaskiel was not awarded student of the month previously. Since Freshman year, Jaskiel has been a wonderful student who is a hard worker, avid learner, and a pleasure to have in class. She is a great example of a model student who helps others when she has finished her work. She may not understand everything, as she only tested out of language services 2 years ago, but she will always ask questions and is engaged in her learning. In addition, she is super polite. I highly recommend her for student of the month.
-Ms. Kowar
11th Grade Student of the Month
11th: Tie
William Bourgoin (2 nominations): William has maintained a near perfect year average so far in US History. His written work and observations in history combine intelligence and good judgement, placing him at the top of his class. Gauld; Nice Gauld! So funny – I was just going to nominate him. DJ’s list with the previous winners is very helpful. Another one I can’t believe has never won. He has a 96 GPA and is a very well-behave kid. I second this nomination.
-Mr. Lynch
Edson Hernandez Gonzalez: Edson is such a solid student and so pleasant to have in class. He will help classmates when needed and is always willing to participate in class discussions. He contributes to the Goodwin community through his participation on the Boys Basketball team. Overall, Edson is a pleasant young man that is often overlooked when it comes to recognition, yet he gives so much.
-Ms. Yoga
12th Grade Student of the Month
12th:
Elijah Velazquez (2 nominations): Elijah is such a kind, young man that gives 100% almost daily. He is in a class that can be a little challenging and he will sometimes get frustrated but he stays positive and completely focusses on what he needs to get done. He participates in class discussions and is always willing to help classmates and reach out for help when needed. Overall, he is definitely a strong candidate for student of the month.
-Ms. Yoga
I have to reiterate what Ms Yoga said as well. I am in that class and see his participation this year. He works well with others in his group-team player for sure. He is a great advocate for himself too. I know it gets harder for seniors to remain focused but he has done a great job staying on tasks and watching his grades. Kuddos to Elijah!
