Students of the Month – September 2017
Being an impactful student goes beyond excelling academically and has much to do with the attitude a student brings to school each day. The latest Students of the Month all bring positive energy and engaging personalities to the classroom, a quality that helps create a warm and inviting environment at Messalonskee High School.
Freshman Justin Bowman, sophomore Brandon Veilleux, and senior Makayla Wilson received their Student of the Month awards during an assembly in the Performing Arts Center. (The junior recipient could not attend the assembly and will receive his award next month.
Justin is an excellent student who is constantly engaged in his studies and work. He asks insightful and thoughtful questions as he strives to truly understand concepts. He goes way above and beyond to participate in class. His enthusiasm and energy contributes positively to the classroom environment.
Brandon follows a similar pattern. He is diligent with his work and is an active participant in class discussions as well as a student who is courteous and helpful to classmates.
As for Makayla, the senior winner, her trademark is the warm smile she brings to school on a daily basis. A member of Messalonskee’s Class A state championship basketball team, Makayla is a talented athlete who also makes extra efforts to help her sister, who is a freshman at Messalonskee this fall. Makayla, in every way, serves as a role model for her peers.
