The 7th grade team would like to recognize Luke Ehrenkaufer as our Student of the Month. Although his hard work in class is commendable, his genuine kindness toward everyone around him shows his true character. He is a resourceful problem-solver who is always willing to help in any way that he can. We are lucky to have Luke as a student here at Nippersink. We are proud of the excellent example he sets for all of us.

8th Grade

For eighth grade, we are nominating Emily Kettering for our Student of the Month. Emily goes above and beyond in and out of the classroom. She is a natural leader. Emily shows her leadership in group situations, in class discussions, and on the volleyball court. Emily also shows this leadership in the hallway, stopping to help others when they are in need of assistance. Academically, Emily works diligently towards her potential. This is shown both through her academic achievement and in her success in the Future Problem Solving program. We are all proud of what Emily has achieved and look forward to seeing her future success.

Student Services

We nominate Zoey Mazur as the Student Services Student of the Month. As a student services team, we value empathy, respect and kindness. As the school year has kicked off, we have seen all of these attributes in Zoey from day one. As we assist all 6th graders in their hallway, Zoey has always started her day with a smile and always says "good morning" to our team. She's been very respectful when asking for help and has offered to help her peers when needed. She has shown a kind heart to others and we are proud to celebrate Zoey Mazur.
