At Wednesday's meeting, we recognized three wonderful students as Student of the Month. Read about each and you will agree!

Student of the Month - Vocational Skills

Our January Vocational Excellence Student of the Month for Archbishop Murphy High School is Noah Tran. Noah is an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. Noah had to complete a service project to become an Eagle Scout and chose to work with the Rotary Club of Lake Forest Park to distribute pedestrian safety information and safety reflectors at three elementary schools and to the rest of the community to improve pedestrian safety and awareness. Noah has a significant list of accomplishments in high school, including many awards in the technology area and is a member of the National Honor Society. Noah intends to go to school to study computer science and become a programmer in the video gaming area. Congratulations Noah!

Our February Musical Excellence Student of the Month for Archbishop Murphy High School is Lola Forde. Lola has been involved in many activities in high school in sports, art, theatre, mock trial, and music. Lola plays the trumpet and is currently first trumpet in the school band. Lola is a member of the National Honors Society. For service work, Lola enjoys working in her community thrift stores. Lola aspires to continue studies in theatre and go to Broadway. Her next big decision will be choosing one of the many colleges that she has already been accepted into! Congratulations Lola!

Student of the Month - Musical Excellence

Our February Musical Excellence Student of the Month for Jackson High School is Jonah Pawley. Jonah Pawley has immersed himself in the music department. Jonah has performed at prestigious venues such the state music competition, Jazz Alley, and Carnegie Hall. He volunteers in the band room daily during his lunch period to mentor and encourage students as they tackle difficult music hurdles. Jonah's plans for the future involve attending Western Washington University, studying for a degree in Chemistry. He hopes to continue in some sort of music outside of school, either in a drum corps or even a professional drumline - possibly even the Seattle Seahawks’ Blue Thunder drumline! Congratulations Jonah!
