Students of the Week!

This week's Students of the Week are:

Brian Vogt

Nominated by:Mrs. Adams

 It is an honor to nominate Brian Vogt as Student of the Week. Brian is a caring, intuitive, and talented young man who is dedicated to his academic pursuits. He possesses the combination of a positive attitude and the belief that he can always improve-- qualities that are so essential to the learning process. Throughout the year Brian has been an active participant in class discussions and activities, and has always supported his peers. His caring nature and personality allow him to work well with others in a team setting--he respects others' opinions even when they differ from his own. Brian has an intuitive ability that allows him to be articulate about difficult concepts and texts. He is able to think critically and creatively on challenging topics. With his exceptional natural ability and a willingness and eagerness to learn, Brian finds new and interesting ways to challenge himself. Something extremely impressive about Brian is his talent as a writer. He puts his own unique twist on each assignment and uses his imagination to produce creative pieces of writing. I can say with confidence that Brian is one of the most caring and driven students I've ever taught. I look forward to being Brian's teacher as he finishes his academic career at the junior high. I have no doubt that he will continue to experience great success in all his future endeavors.




Cynthia Kudatsi
Nominated by: Mrs. Nagel

There are many reasons why Cynthia is nominated as Student of the Week. Not only is she an excellent student, she is an exceptional person. Anyone who has contact with Cynthia agrees that she is remarkable by the way she interacts with her peers as well as any adult around her. Cynthia is polite. Cynthia is smart. Cynthia is kindhearted. Cynthia is helpful to others. Cynthia is a friend. All of these reasons are impressive for sure but what sets Cynthia apart is she is truly genuine. Each day as Cynthia enters class she smiles and says hello. She interacts with her peers in a positive manner making everyone want to be around her. It is obvious that she will be an incredible leader in whatever she wants to accomplish. Cynthia is a true asset to Sycamore Junior HIgh. We are fortunate to have her as part of our student body.
