Congratulations to our High School POWER Student of the Month for March. Students are nominated for exemplifying/practicing the POWER expectations. Suri was nominated for the following reasons - Suri is an all around great student! She is respectful of adults and peers and always willing to help someone out. I would call Suri a "quiet leader". She shows the underclassmen great character without having to say a word. Suri works hard to maintain good grades and puts in the extra effort to achieve this. Suri is kind, compassionate and gives 100% to any task that she takes on. She is responsible and rarely needs to be reminded of what the expectations are, both in and out of the classroom.
