We are proud to name Bella Nasuti as our January Student of the Month!  There are so many wonderful things to share about Bella!  She is well-rounded in her academics and her extra-curricular pursuits, but she always puts being a student first.  She completes high-quality work and pushes herself to grow outside of her comfort zone.  Bella is not content to do "just enough"- she wants to excel.  If she doesn't understand the material, she has the mindset and work ethic to know that growth comes with hard work and consistency.  Bella is kind, empathetic to others, and displays maturity in the classroom.  She "shows up" every day and embodies the characteristics of being WEST STRONG.  Thank you, Bella, for representing the Journey Team!
