Junior Ricky Zanardo was named the English Student of the Month for October.
English teacher Nicole La Beau believes Zanardo is a positive role model who never fails to contribute to class discussions or take his work to the next level.
“Ricky Z—ALWAYS prepared; ALWAYS engaged; ALWAYS excelling,” La Beau said. “But more, he thoughtfully reacts to characters and concepts in the literature while also reflecting on why he believes what he does and reflects on how his writing choices impact the reader. Then he shares his processing with the class, which only improves the class.”
Zanardo finds this process the best way to gain a deeper understanding of the world around him.
“The journey is more fulfilling than the destination,” Zanardo said.
