Parker Gaboury- Grade 11
In 11th grade, Parker Gaboury
Parker is always asking insightful questions in class and checks in frequently to make sure he understands the new concepts. He is fun to have in class - and we miss him when he is not there. He makes everyone feel welcome and at ease. Parker is a great person and a great student!!!
Marley Torregiono- Grade 12
In 12th grade, Marley is an amazing student. She is hardworking, kind and careful in all she does. She is a wonderful and supportive friend as well. To her peers, she is often a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen. She is also kind to her neighbors- even if they are yelling at her over the counter at her job. With everyone, she is patient and forgiving. If I wonder whether or not I taught something, I know I can look at Marley's work. If I asked for it, Marley did it.
