Congratulations to Lydia Null on being named one of the Students of the Week for February 26th. Mr. McCann nominated Lydia because she is a huge inspiration in the weight room. She is a competitive power lifter and seeing her work extremely hard in my class to improve her maxes has been impressive and inspirational. Each class she pushed herself, while continuing to learn new ways of lifting to help her powerlifting techniques. Lydia is a model student that all weight coaches desire to have. We can’t wait to hear about her power lifting meets and exceeding her previous goals!
Congratulations to Serhii Freiak on being named one of the Students of the Week for February 26th. Mrs. McCoy states Serhii came to her Algebra 1 class last year from Ukraine, knowing very little English. He has done an amazing job at adapting to a new set of norms here at East. He excels in the two math classes he has taken, despite having to chat with me through Google translate. He works incredibly hard, asks questions and is incredibly bright and motivated. He should be recognized for overcoming a challenging move to a new country, learning a new language and excelling academically.

Domenic Rohlf was nominated by Mrs. Robischeau as one of the Students of the Week for February 5th. When first reading about Domenic, Mrs. Robischeau reports, she had a picture of who he would be and the challenges that he would encounter here at East, but I was gravely mistaken. You see, Domenic considers challenges, that I consider treacherous terrain, to be merely a walk in the park. Even though Domenic has battled internally and externally for his entire life, he embodies kindness and grace. He extends a helping hand when others are too afraid to ask for help. He advocates for his needs and that of others, and he is unafraid to be his authentic self. His current success is something that he should boast about; something to be so proud of, but Domenic is humble and quiet in his accomplishments. He will exceed expectations continuously and I cannot wait to see all that he is capable of. Congratulations Domenic!
Congratulations to Reagan Molnar on being named on of the Students of the Week for February 5th. Reagan was nominated by Mr. Powell who says Reagan experienced a lot of struggles to start the year in American Government, and it would have been really easy for her to give up in the face of adversity. Reagan, however, refused to allow these struggles to get the best of her, gritted her teeth, and worked relentlessly to find success. With this type of work ethic, I am sure that Reagan is going to continue to find success in the future. I am so proud of Reagan for all of the hard work that she put in and want her to know that those efforts have not gone unnoticed!

Congratulations to Mackenzie Bristol on being named one of the Students of the Week for February 5th. Mackenzie was nominated by Mrs. Fitzgerald who says Mackenzie is a gem at East High. Mackenzie has an amazing ability to bring a class together through laughter, connections and helping each other. She is incredibly welcoming to everyone that walks through our classroom door. She isn't afraid to bring new students to her table, a quality that is often lacking among teenagers. She also creates an environment that encourages everyone to help each other, teachers can work hard to create this in their classroom, but I feel Mackenzie can make it happen in a blink of an eye. East High is a better place because we have Mackenzie walking around these halls.

Congratulations to Katie Schoenberger on being named one of the Students of the Weeks for January 22nd. She was nominated by Ms. Northrup - Katie is one of the most kind, hard working, and humble students I have ever met. She will always help her peers in anyway she can and will never ask for anything in return. She has been my photography go to girl the past year. Whenever we need an event covered, she without question will always volunteer. When ever a student is struggling with getting photos for their page she volunteers to help them with no complaints or recognition needed. I think it's time for Katie to be recognized for her hard work and dedication to her studies, and the sweet positive peer influence she is to other at FZE.
Anne Sankale was nominated by Mrs. Munro as one of the Students of the Week for January 22nd. Mrs. Munro states Anne is constantly trying to involve herself in improving our community. She is a first gen American with family from Kenya and like her father, she is very concerned with multiculturalism and community involvement. She is an amazing ambassador for student leadership. She's one of the best leaders at EAST currently. Congratulations!
Congratulations to Lauren Peca on being named one of the Students of the Week for January 22nd. She was nominated by Ms. Kern - Lauren Peca is an incredible young woman. She has been working to be a pilot for several years now. (Last summer, she became qualified to fly solo.) She volunteers with her local Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) chapter's Young Eagles program where she takes children flying in the hopes to inspire them. Additionally, Lauren loves science. It's her hope to be a Hurricane Hunter pilot for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Corps. She wants to be able to use her two passions to positively impact the world.
