Students of the Week!

This week's Students of the Week are:

Sophie Campbell
Nominated by: Mr. Rodriguez

When thinking about who to select for this week's Student of the Week, will be honest and say it was extremely difficult. I have a great group of students in all my classes, and for me to pick out just one...was a challenge! Sycamore is full of capable and well deserving students; however, after weeks of debate, I have selected Sophie Campbell as my student of the week. Sophie has done the little things to stand out amongst the best. She will email me with questions about assignments when she is confused, she works diligently during Aviator bell, she has worked tremendously well with her classmates in our group projects, she excels in the details of her work-takes the time to do them well...she cares about her education! And because she does, she takes the initiative and responsibility to stay on top of her school work, Sophie understands in order to do well, one must work at it. Thank you for your hard work and for being a great example...


Yuzuka Maekawa

Nominated by: Mrs. Reedy

Yuzuka has been chosen for this week's student of the week for many reasons. All her teachers agree that she is a sweet young lady who puts forth her best effort in everything she does. She listens intently during class everyday, is always prepared, works well with others, and never complains when things are difficult. Yuzuka also embodies many of the character words that are focused on at Sycamore Junior High. She rises above challenges, takes pride in receiving good grades, and is respectful and polite to all students and teachers alike. She also participates in school activities by being a great artist and dressing up on school spirit days. The final two qualities that make Yuzuka the most special, however, are her awesome smile and never ending enthusiasm! Students like Yuzuka do not come along every day and she should definitely be recognized for making my job an absolute pleasure
