ROP Rotary Students of the Month
|
|
Congratulations to our September and
October
Students of the Month!
These outstanding students
participate in our ROP programs, and
were recognized by the
Los Alamitos/Seal Beach Rotary Club.
-----------------------------------------------------------
-September Rotary Student of the Month:
Jai Crowder.
Jai Crowder is a senior in our advanced sports medicine program. Jai someday hopes to become an orthopedic surgeon specializing in Sports Medicine. Our Sports Medicine teacher Mr. Hansen says, "Jai brings compassion and concern that comes from her heart to every athlete for whom she provides care, and helps to educate." She is going into her third year of involvement in our Sports Medicine Center.
-October Rotary Student of the Month:
Elizabeth Beaudreau.
Our Computer Science teacher Mr. Grant says, "Elizabeth excelled in my Intro to Computer Science course last year by demonstrating creativity on projects and showing the ability to think outside the box when it came to programming. She is very detail oriented and persistent, two qualities that are also essential to success in computer science. This year she is taking Computer Science A, and although it is much more difficult class, those skills are allowing her to deconstruct complex programs and figure out ways to make them work. Elizabeth has great people skills and always does a great job of working well with other students and helping them if necessary. She is planning on pursuing a STEM major in either Engineering or Computer Science and I am confident she will be very successful!"

Need a Letter of Recommendation?
|
Seniors, do you need a letter of recommendation for your college or scholarship applications? Here's the best way to get one!
1. Log on to Naviance, and fill out the 2019-2020 Senior Brag Sheet under the 'About Me' section, under 'My Surveys', and then 'Surveys Not Started'.
2. Take a printed copy of your Brag Sheet to any teacher/coach/counselor that you are asking a letter from, along with any addressed envelopes that might be needed for that person to mail in your letter (some may be electronic, it depends on the school's requirements).
3. Don't forget to give the letter writer plenty of notice, and say "Please" and "Thank you!".
4. It's always a good idea to follow up with a 'Thank You' note- remember that these letters take time and thought when being written!
