December Students of the Month

2017 – 2018

MATHEMATICS

LESLEY RAMIREZ-CORTEZ - Lesley is a new freshman student, both to Waldwick and the United States. She has a great attitude and is always willing to help other students in the room with both their own math work and with translating. She is a conscientious student and works very hard at both her math and learning the English that goes with it. Since she is working through an individualized program, she often teaches herself what she needs to know and goes above and beyond to master the material. She is yet another great addition to the Warrior Family.

VOCAL

AMANDA CORKILL - Amanda is currently a member of the Senior Chorus who is always willing to learn different ways to improve her singing techniques. She has worked hard to develop the skills necessary to be a valuable member of the Music Department, as well as the Drama Club. Amanda focuses her energy on proper singing techniques and through the past years has developed a good sense of the musical theater style as well as choral singing. Amanda seeks help when needed and gives support to the other members of the Chorus and Drama Club. She can always be counted on to take part as a leader, helping other students along the way. Amanda’s energy and commitment to singing as well as her love for performing shine through both on stage and off.
