Science Department Students of the Month
Andrew Ostola and Jay Balzarini are the Science Department Students of the Month of February.
Andrew Ostola was chosen as a science student of the month for his commitment to excellence in science, working hard to understand difficult concepts and helping others in the classroom if they are struggling. He is involved in student council, and is involved in the Chief Science Officer leadership program. Andy always brings a smile to class, and a high work ethic.
Jay Balzarini is an exuberant personification of curiosity and creativity. Jay comes to class every day ready to learn and genuinely interested in the topics we cover. Jay also puts extra effort and thought into assignments requiring creativity and research. Jay turns in work that is uniquely their own and beyond what I had expected. I admit I look forward to hearing and seeing what new ideas Jay will bring to class discussions. Having Jay present pushes the other students to pay attention and increases engagement.
