Nitesh Prasad Eighth Grade Student of the Month

Nitesh has hoped to be named student of the month for many years, but it took a global pandemic to create an academic situation that allowed Nitesh to finally shine. The quality of work he has produced during distance learning has shown his true potential. Additionally he has an inquisitive mind, is quick to offer help when needed, is generous with his time and possessions, accepts responsibility for his actions, and almost always has a big smile for everyone. He enjoys reading realistic and historical fiction, especially stories of America’s Colonial Period and world conflicts. He also enjoys technology, lacrosse and basketball.  I have no doubt that he has a wonderful future ahead of him.
