Congratulations to our March Mountaineers of the Month who demonstrated the virtue of responsibility!
Reagen Edens
“I would like to nominate Reagan Edens for Mountaineer of the Month for responsibility. Reagan is always joyful in the classroom and does her work to the best of her ability. She is a very good example to her classmates on how to accept credit when she does something right and is also very humble in acknowledging her mistakes. Reagan has proven herself very responsible in how she takes care of her own belongings and our classroom materials. She is quite nurturing and always looks for ways to help her friends and her teacher.” -Mrs. Reichert, Junior Kindergarten Teacher
Luke Taykowski
“Luke is always responsible when he comes to school by bringing his black folder along with his reading folder. He is obedient in the classroom and helps keep things in order. I can always count on Luke to help clean up a spill or put something away that does not belong to him.” -Mrs. McGrath, Kindergarten Teacher
Marianne Schmitt
“Marianne demonstrates responsibility on a daily basis. She is always prepared for class and focused on her work. Marianne always has her homework completed and turned in on time. When I am looking for a student to set an example for others to follow, I know I can rely on Marianne. She takes her ‘job’ as a student seriously and is a good role model in the classroom.” -Mrs. Van Pelt, First-Grade Teacher
Lydia Neiman
“Lydia is always looking out for other people. She finds it her own personal responsibility to ensure that everyone is making good choices and is being safe. I can always depend on Lydia to make good choices and encourage others to do the same. I can trust Lydia with important tasks and I know she will be responsible.” -Miss Gjokaj, Second-Grade Teacher
Stella Ioco
“One meaning of responsibility is doing what I know I must do because of who I am: a child of God. Stella lives this meaning every day in and out of the classroom. She is always prepared for class ;she hands her homework in on time’ and she goes that extra step of working ahead without being told too. She keeps her belongings organized and is always willing to help others in the classroom stay organized as well. I can always count on Stella to complete the tasks that are given to her. I am very proud of Stella and of all of her effort.” -Miss Wildrick, Second-Grade Teacher
Magnolia Heasley & Allisandra King
“As a student, being responsible can be tough. Often times, you have to balance schoolwork, time with family and friends, sports, other extra-curriculars, and responsibilities at home.
When discussing the virtue of the month, students in the fourth-grade defined responsibility as doing the things you’re supposed to do (i.e., following directions, listening, paying attention, completing assignments, etc.), taking ownership of one’s actions, picking up one’s messes, and taking care of others.
Magnolia Heasley and Allisandra King both exemplify these qualities and more. They not only do the things they are supposed to do, but also accept responsibility for their actions. Learning and practicing the quality of being responsible, Magnolia and Alli continue to strengthen this life skill and will be able to better help others in our world. It is with honor that I nominate Magnolia Heasley and Alli King as this month’s Mountaineers of the Month.” -Mrs. Motyka, Fourth-Grade Teacher
