Huge shout out to Natalie Stoll who was voted our #SourcesOfStrength 7-12 student of the month for the month of March! Here is what our teacher who nominated Natalie had to say about her! Natalie has shown so much improvement over this entire semester. Last month I saw her really step up into a leadership role and do what was supposed to be done when all others were choosing not to. Not only was she showing integrity by doing this, but she has made more than enough effort to show all sources of strength slices at all times during the day. Her effort and work ethic in strength and conditioning is unmatched and she truly finds the benefit in my class. Natalie should be considered for student of the month because she maintains a healthy balance between and among the 8 sources of strength. Although her grades don't always reflect straight A's, she works, learns, thrives, and contributes a great deal to our music performances and to our school.

Congratulations are in order for Mr. Garrett Bond, who was voted our #SourcesOfStrength K-6 student of the month for the month of March! Here is what Garrett's nominating teachers had to say about him: Garret should be considered student of the month for his leadership role and efforts with the elementary play he directed and helped write for our K-6 parent day. Garrett demonstrated leadership with the cast of the play and provided keen insight into how the various scenes could be improved. His feedback was well received since it was accurate, sincere, and helped to foster positivity and growth with the entire cast. Each day, Garrett leads by example in class. He is the first to answer and holds other students to those same expectations of sharing their knowledge. Along with discussion, he seeks to write and improve his writing on a daily basis. By asking frequent questions, he shows his improvement in his learning. Not only does he strive for excellence in his work, he always has a smile on his face. His positivity helps our classroom feel more energized, and his positivity with his friends in the hallway improves our school culture!
