Students Of The Month Celebrate Success

Kali Burroughs '18, Staff Writer

Teachers want us to succeed. They want to motivate us to keep trying. Any staff member can nominate one student each month; after the month is over, each Wakefield staff member can pick one student who defines what it means to be a student. Here is a list of students who showed they deserved to be called the September “Student of the Month.”

The students who received the award were invited to get their picture in #thechief. (If you missed the September picture and are on the list, come to the October Student of the Month Picture in Town Hall!)

How does it feel to be the first Students of the Month for the 2015-2016 school year?

Let’s ask the winners:

Freshman Roger Bokwango said, “I worked very hard, I am very proud of myself .”

Freshman Kyle-David Byrne said, “It feels great to be acknowledged for my outstanding achievements.”
