Lindsey is taking ceramics and sculpture this quarter and is excelling in both. She is creative, inquisitive, hardworking, and excited for class. Lindsey’s work shows a high level of understanding and skill. In ceramics, Lindsey is the first to help recycle clay or unload a kiln, the jobs that need to be done to keep the studio going. Thank you and keep up the great work Lindsey.

FACS


I have worked with Mya Romeo for the past 3 years through various FACS courses, and now CEIP. I am impressed with her drive, perseverance, professionalism, and initiative in the classroom and in her internship.

Mya handles her academic and employment responsibilities with her excellent organization and time management skills. She is an asset as an intern helping her mentor teacher with every detail of the classroom routines. Classroom management, leadership, integrity all make her a positive role model in the classroom. She uses the skills learned in her coursework and job site to be successful in her after-school job. She willingly volunteers to help with the FACS Skills class when we need an extra set of hands in the kitchen. Mya is on track to be a valuable member of the education community. These are the qualities that will allow her to become successful in college and career!

Mya is the epitome of a Mohonasen graduate. She is curious and creative, a critical thinker and team player, confident and growth-oriented. I have enjoyed working with her and wish her the best of luck in her future plans. She is ready for the challenges of college-level academics and has the energy to accomplish this goal and become a fantastic educator. I will miss her next year but hope to work with her one day as a colleague.

Mathematics

This year in AP Calculus, Joyce had a rocky start to the school year. When many students would give up or drop the course, Joyce doubled her efforts. She attended extra help during study halls, after school and during lunch. She not only worked harder in Calculus but went back to review or re-learn topics from Pre-Calculus and Algebra 1 & 2 to give herself a more solid foundation going forward. In the time from Unit 1 to Unit 2 she almost tripled her test scores. She is an example to all students what hard work, dedication, and goal setting can accomplish.

Social Studies

Coming back into a full “new normal” year of learning, Alaina has hit the ground running and excelled with pace and commitment to details. She is hardworking and never afraid to help out with class discussion. She may not be the first in her class to raise her hand, but her contributions are always solid and thorough. Alaina will do well on the US History Regents exam this year, as her commitment to excellence is commendable!

Nathan is an excellent student and is currently enrolled in classes that explore both our engineering and trades program. He demonstrates exceptional skills in both subject areas and consistently does superior work. Nathan is typically one of the first few students in class to complete design-based projects and regularly works with other students to assist them in class. He truly shows genuine interest in the various areas of Technology Education. His leadership role is evident and his willingness to help is always there. In addition, he is courteous, responsible, and well mannered. Continue the excellent work.
