February Students of the Month

Katie Cuellar 11th grade - Listening with Understanding and Empathy

Here is what Luke Melloh had to say about Katie. "Katie is my student assistant 10th period. She is always willing to help out and be another set of eyes and ears in class. Recently, I had a new student enroll in Sports Literature. This student is brand new to the U.S. and has limited English proficiency. Katie, being bilingual, has been translating on behalf of this student to ensure he has what he needs to succeed in my class. She started doing this unsolicited and it has been occurring daily. Her understanding of the situation and subsequent empathy is one-of-a-kind. I can't brag on her enough."
