Jordyn GoldshorePrincipal Thomas has announced Staples High School's recipients for May Student of the Month:
Michael Blishteyn – Gr. 10
Jonah Bernstein – Gr. 9
Davi Da Silva – Gr 9
Kervin Joseph – Gr. 10
Jordyn Goldshore – Gr.11
The Students of the Month award program recognizes students who help make Staples High School a welcoming place for their peers and teachers alike. They are the “glue” of the Staples community: the type of kind, cheerful, hard-working, trustworthy students that keep the high school together, making it the special place that it is.
Students of the month are nominated by their teachers, who are asked to think of those students who come to school regularly, are friendly to the staff and to fellow students, and make positive contributions in class as well as the Staples community. In short, these students are all-around good citizens of our school. Students of the Month are not necessarily star athletes, high honor students, or lead performers, and even if they are, this award recognizes the positive attitude they bring to school every day in making Staples High School a genial place in which to learn and teach.
