Zeliciana K.

Altar Valley Middle School

7th Grade

Zelly was chosen as a recent Student of the week. She has shown consistency in both academics and behavior. She is responsible for accomplishing group assignments and in making sure that every member of her group participates in group discussion by asking questions and helping her classmates get the information they need.

In addition, Zelly is a good role model to her fellow students in meeting school and classroom expectations. She promotes a positive school climate through her actions and words from goal-setting to goal achievement. This is plainly evident when she doesn’t give up just because she thinks that the lesson is too hard for her. She is optimistic that she can learn the lessons by the end of the week, and she shows willingness to spend her personal time finishing assignments and turning them in before the due date.

Zelly treats her classmates, teachers, and staff with respect by valuing each as an individual, respecting differences, and valuing the work that others do.

Zelly always has a beautiful smile on her face, whether we see her face with or without her mask! Zelly, you can be proud of yourself! We are proud of you!
