 * The Foreign Language Department has chosen __Keri Kaligian__ as its Student of the Month. Keri is in his second year of Armenian Language & Culture. He started out without knowing how to read and write the unique Armenian alphabet and his vocabulary was very limited. Through very hard work and dedication, Keri has mastered the alphabet and grammar, and he has made considerable progress in vocabulary acquistion. Keri is an attentive and serious student, and because of this, he will continue to be successful in Armenian class. Not only is Keri a good role model as a student, he is very kind and always willing to help others with problems they are having in a lesson. He is very patient and a good teacher. Congratulations, Keri! **

Ralph Gioiosa || Rubens Araujo || **Mathematics** Rubens Araujo has transformed himself into the perfect math student during the third term of this year. His homework in his Algebra 1 class is now completed thoroughly and written beautifully, with all solutions explained and all work shown. Due to the fact that he is now spending much more time on his homework each day, Rubens’ test average has increased by two letter grades and he is now viewed as one of the most knowledgeable members of the class. Rubens is regular participant in class discussions and the type of questions he asks as well as the responses he gives to his classmates’ questions show his deep understanding of the material he is studying. Rubens takes advantage of the extra help offered in the Math Lab on a daily basis, and those of us who see his work marvel at what a fantastic job he is now doing in Algebra 1.
