Maxwell Baxter

Max is far beyond his years as a musician.  In our recent KORT show, Max was a member of more bands than any student in the history of the program.  Throughout both the acoustic show and full show, Max  performed over 30 songs!  Not only does this show his versatility and dependability, but also his ability to collaborate and work well with a variety of different people.   – Mr. Carle

Maralee Bixby & Jaylen Bennett

Mornings are just not the same when Maralee and Jaylen are not able to start our day with the Pledge of Allegiance.  They both bring such brightness and joy to the office when they arrive, with big smiles and happy greetings.  Always cheerful, Maralee's "Have a Great Day" is the perfect reminder for students to look for the good.   Jaylen's adjective of the day is  a great addition to the start of our day, hopefully instigating students to improve their vocabulary and bring a bit of amusement to the mornings.  Ladies - you do a fantabulous job - Thank You!!  Miss Oakley, Mrs. Egitto, Mrs. Pichura

Maralee Bixby

Maralee has consistently exceeded my expectations.  As leader of the Pop Music in Society class, she led the group in organizing two large scale events.  From setting up posters, concessions, news interviews, dealing with professionals, and running social media, Maralee led her team to success.  Maralee has the unique ability to see every challenge as an opportunity and face it head on. – Mr. Carle

Xzavier has a positive attitude on a daily basis.  He is a team player in class and is open to working with and helping any and all students.  He has exceptional manners in class and I always look forward to his polite greetings in the morning and before class.  Xzavier is extremely creative, patient and kind.  I am very proud of his work in global class! – Mrs. Ponterio

Cooper Bump
Cooper is an enthusiastic learner in French class.  He is always on task, participating and engaged in the lessons. I can always count on him to answer a question or to give an example whenever necessary.  His positivity and cheerful attitude makes the class a better place to be. I am thrilled to have him in French class! – Madame Herringshaw

Dylan Cappello

Dylan always demonstrate the utmost respect for all in the classroom.  His motivation to learn coupled with his innate sense of responsibility to do his best earns him high levels of success.  He actively participates, works hard and is a high achiever in French class.  Dylan chose to volunteer to work at the local Food Bank this past holiday season when I asked for Saturday volunteers.  He is an extraordinary young man and I am so thrilled to have him in French class!
- Madame Herringshaw

Alexis Carson
Alexis has come further this year than any other student I have.  She cares about her grades, and tries!  She goes to classes, she helps with anything I may need, and she even studies with me without too much of an argument!! I am so proud of the student that Alexis has become!!
- Mrs. Webb

Hunter Conklin
Hunter was not very happy to be in English at the beginning of the year and wasn't afraid to let us know it.  However, as the year has progressed, Hunter is a sarcastic ray of sunshine that we look forward to each day.  He is funny and polite and, although he still says he dislikes English, he has been working hard and achieving very good grades.  Keep up the good work Hunter! – Miss Rogan/Miss Smith

Praescilla Daquin

"Rosa" chose to challenge herself this year by taking part in the BCC College level Spanish class.  It has not always been an easy road, but her perseverance and willingness to go the extra mile has proven how dedicated she is to being successful both in and out of class.  I am so proud of her for taking on this endeavor!  Keep up the good work "P"!!  - Senora Llaves

Sarah DeVaul
Sarah is an amazing young lady.  She comes into Studio Art everyday with a big smile on her  face and is ready to get to work.  She is a wonderful role model and jumps right in to help her peers.  She has great ideas and is willing to try new things out.  She is the student every teacher wants in their classroom! – Mrs. Pilvelis

Roman Goodwill

Roman is an exceptional student with a heart of gold.  He works hard on a daily basis to ensure he is successful in his classes.  He is one of the most respectful, Kind and generous students I have had the pleasure of knowing.  Roman is going into the health care field as he would like to make a difference in patients' lives.  He will truly be missed next year at Windsor HS.

Casey Hull

 

If there is a more helpful student than you in this world Casey, I'd like to meet him.  From day one, you have been polite and friendly to everyone, but especially me.  You've gotten me out of more trouble with my terrible computer skills, you've helped me hang things when they fall down and you keep me on my toes by reminding me what time your mod ends, since I'm apparently incapable of remembering two different schedules. On top of that, your skills in my class keep getting better and better!  You even laugh at my jokes! Thanks for starting my day with such a positive experience.  Sincerely, - Madame Shear

Adriana Kabat

 

Adriana is an outstanding young lady.  She is positive, kind, hard working, and will go out of her way to make sure all students are included.  Adriana never puts less than her best effort forth.  Adriana is a role model to her peers both in and out of the classroom.  She brightens our class every single day.  –Mrs. Cullen

Caleb is an extremely motivated student.  He comes into class every day with a positive attitude, and is very conscientious about all of his work.  He is polite, and works well with others..  He is always willing to help other students out.  Thanks for always having a positive impact on our class, Caleb!! – Miss Rogan/Miss Smith

Victoria Lewis
Victoria is so wonderful to have in class.  She always has a smile and shares that with everyone in the room.  I have seen her make a point out of talking to a student that was not having a great day, just to make them feel a little bit better.  She has turned one of her classes around also, studying and trying so hard to do well, and succeeding!  Victoria is a friend to all and someone with such a positive attitude will certainly go far.  – Mrs. Webb

Brianna MacDonald
I have had the pleasure to get to know Brianna over the past few months in Studio Art.  She is a very quiet, yet very determined young lady.  She puts so much effort into her art work and isn't afraid to challenge herself to continually improve.  She has begun to socialize more and come out of her "shell".  Her peers and I are loving it! – Mrs. Pilvelis

Jamie Oliver
Jamie is a delightful student  to have in French class.  Taking a second foreign language is challenging and exciting and few students take the opportunity to learn both French and Spanish.  I am thrilled to announce through perseverance and hard work that Jamie is not only studying both languages, but is excelling in French.  In addition, her humble demeanor and kind, unassuming, can-do attitude adds a calm and positive energy to the class.  Super job Jamie!  I love having you in class! -Madame Herringshaw

Collin Salyer
Imagine a student who walks in every day and says, "Good morning Mrs. Angelo!" with a smile on his face.  This is my experience, every day, Mod 3.  He is smart, funny and creative.  He parks himself at my desk every day so he can move my slides, play the video clips and tell me when my 3 minutes timer goes off and it's time for closure.  Class without Collin would be unimaginable!  I feel truly blessed to be a part of his life.  Keep up the great work Collin!  I'm so proud of you!  – Mrs. Angelo-Symons

Josh Spicer
Josh, you are a joy in class!  You work well with the other students, you are always on task and I have never heard you say an unkind word about anyone.  The subject matter isn't easy for you, but you still keep on improving, thanks to your being so willing to stick it out.  I admire your determination, but most of all I admire your positive attitude.  Thank you for being a bright spot in my afternoon!  - Madame Shear

Sindy St. Hubert
Sindy is always a positive presence in the classroom.  She encourages other students and is never afraid to speak her mind.  Sindy always works hard and tries to do her best.
– Miss Rogan/Miss Smith

Alex Steele

Alex is an absolute pleasure to have in class every day.  He always enters the room with a kind greeting.  Alex is doing so well this year due to all of his hard work and the effort that he puts forth.  He is the type of student that is not satisfied with just doing well.  I truly believe that Alex always does his best, every single day. – Miss Cullen

Alex Steele

Alex has exceptional manners and a wonderful work ethic.  He is always determined to do his best work; when he gets a top notch grade he still asks about how he can improve.  He consistently goes above and beyond expectations!  This genuine eagerness to learn enhances my love for teaching.  I am very thankful to have Alex as a student. – Mrs. Ponterio

Alex Steele

 

The smile that I have on my face at the end of a long day is due to amazing students like Alex. He is extremely polite and has the greatest manners.  He always asks how my day is going upon entering the room and wishes me well as he leaves.  If I need someone to help me carry microscopes or clean up the lab, Alex is the first to volunteer.   I can always count on him to brighten up my day with his positive attitude and caring nature.  You should be proud of the wonderful young gentleman that you’ve become, Alex.  I know I am. – Mrs. Vaseleck

Chloe Truesdale

 

I couldn’t be luckier to have such a fantastic student in my science class.  Chloe has an abundance of positive attributes – she is punctual, prepared, and always participates.  She is extremely sweet, polite, and kindhearted.  Chloe is also a true team player – she is always there to assist a fellow student while working on a lab or to volunteer to answer questions during lecture.  Thanks for being such a remarkable person, Chloe.  It is students like you that make teaching worthwhile. – Mrs. Vaseleck

Melissa Zeh

"Mara" walks into my room every day ready to tackle Spanish.  She brightens my day when she stops in to ask questions, and to make sure she understand concepts and is doing everything she should.  She is responsible, diligent, and a pleasure to teach.  Keep up the good work, chica!!  - Senora Llaves
