=**Student of the Month Archived ** = October, 2010 The October Student of the Month for English is Ahmed Alnamous. A hard-working and talented student, Ahmed has distinguished himself in his Transitional English class and richly deserves recognition for his efforts. Maureen Regan || Faiza Amin || **ESL** The ESL Department is proud to announce Faiza Amin as its October Student of the Month. Faiza arrived at WHS in the middle of last year from her native Pakistan. Although she knew little English, she progressed quite a bit by the end of the last school year. Over the summer she made remarkable progress, and this school year she was placed in the Advanced ESL class. She is a hardworking student, extremely nice, friendly, and helpful to those around her. She takes all assignments and projects seriously and does an excellent job on all her work. We are very proud of her, and she should be proud of herself as well. Faiza has truly attained high achievements and we're sure she will continue to do so. Sonia-Siran-Tamakian﻿ || Hannah Barry has become the leader of the violin section for the WHS String Ensemble. She is always well-prepared for each rehearsal and helps both the Director and other students during rehearsals, assisting in tuning of instruments, demonstrating for the violin sections, and assisting the Director in rehearsal preparations and set-up. She will be performing a violin solo with the String Ensemble on the December concert. She is very deserving to be named Student of the Month for FAPA. Dr. Schuetze Lena Lewenstein has been nominated as student of the month for visual art. It is my pleasure to work with Lena in both design and advanced visual art. In all cases Lena has proven herself to be focused, creative and skillful with her painting techniques. Lena has been very productive this semester creating a series of quality electronic illustrations and traditional water based paintings. You can view some of Lena's work and the works of other art students in the glass showcase by the front lobby. Dan R.

Jenna Caskie (ID 125003) is student of the month for astronomy. Not only is she a model student in class, but her moon journal was done with care and precision. Nice job Jenna. Keep up the great work Jenna! . Vincent Ciarametaro || Anet Calisir || **Social Studies** "Ned" McCormick (grade 9); Ned has thrown himself into the course and is a very important contributor to class discussions and to groups who work with him. Ned scored a perfect 100% on the last unit exam, writing two essays that far exceeded expectations. It's unusual to have a student this early in his high school career understand so much about the connections between events in history.
