MHS Students of the Month – October 2018
Caring students make for a healthy and happy school environment. The October Student of the Month assembly recognized four students who contribute significantly to creating such an atmosphere at Messalonskee High School.
Freshman Mikayla Dalbeck, sophomore Luke Buck, junior Joe Fougere, and Student Choice Award winner Grace Carlson exemplify the compassionate mindset that helps promote a caring culture.
Mikayla in fact lives by the mantra “kindness matters.” In her remarks about each Student of the Month recipient, Messalonskee principal Paula Callan noted that Makayla impacts many students with her “warm and friendly nature.”
Luke, the sophomore winner, shows a similar quality, making kindness to others a priority despite a busy schedule that includes balancing his academic responsibilities with his participation on both the lacrosse and basketball teams.
Joe brightens the classroom through the energy and humor he brings on a daily basis. Even when his puns are off the mark, classmates appreciate the levity Joe provides, Callan explained.
Grace, the Student Choice Award recipient, defies the stereotype of egocentric teens. Rather than being self-absorbed, Grace is known for being selfless and spending her time helping others. She, too, embodies the “kindness matters” approach to life.
During the ceremony, Callan also recognized the following Messalonskee students who earned Student of the Month honors at Mid-Maine Technical Center: Dean Simpson, information technology; Isabelle Languet, medical services; and Nick Alexander, mass media communications.
