It was an absolute pleasure working with Robert in summer school this year. They worked diligently and with a smile on every single day! Robert spent over 3,000 minutes reading texts and working in the Virtual English IV course this summer! I am so proud of Robert and the work they completed. Their hard work and dedication was evident as they celebrated their efforts at NECP's graduation ceremony.

These two North East students come as a unit. They are the funniest, happiest students, ever. If you ever have the pleasure to meet them, your day will be that much better!

Cordeaeja and Ashley came together to class originally and I thought they were sisters -functional sisters. They were that close and when one wasn’t working, the other would let them know, and they would without excuse or grief get back and focused. Basically, they would say, “You are right. I’m gonna get to it now.” And they did. Hightower and Jones were a welcome end of the day duo. Hardworking, polite, intelligent, and funny. When Cordeaeja was successful, your hand had better be ready for her “High Five of Success!”

Daneisha is an extremely thoughtful and friendly student. In addition to completing their own coursework, they quickly established themself as someone other students could turn to for support and help during summer school. Daneisha was often heard telling others to "get focused" or "I'm working on that class too! Let's take a look at that assignment together." Daneisha's positive attitude and determination ensured success and graduation in August! Congratulation Daneisha! I am so proud of you!

Jakeem of Monroe was a hard-working perfectionist. Their Virtual CFM work and work ethic were excellent and at the same time they were a pleasant hardworking student. Jakeem liked to challenge theirself and rarely asked a question just to quickly get something done. They sought to understand at a higher level. Jakeem's attitude for excellence showed in their work and is just a well-rounded student!

At All City, Kyanaliz is a very independent student. If they asked anything, they had exhausted the possibilities themself. For someone who described themself as, “not that good at chemistry” and someone “who lost interest” they crushed this course! It was their consistent and diligent work made them successful. They plodded methodically through Virtual Regents Chem working everyday. When I asked why they were in summer school, Kyanaliz said they tend to "wander" in the school year. As a younger graduating student, I rarely saw "wander," but instead I saw intelligent focus.

Physsi is so much fun to work with. They always have a positive attitude and truly works their brain to remember scientific concepts. They find this especially easy when the lesson involved food. Physsi is a hard and focused worker that deserves this recognition.

Monroe student, Nazhier Wilson, worked diligently on Virtual CFM this summer. They were a student that would plug away with little prompting. Their methodical approach rarely saw them having to do things twice. Nazhier worked everyday, all day!
