KCKPS Students of the Month Recognized
Members of the Kansas City Kansas Board of Education recognized four students as December Students of the Month at the December 13 Board of Education meeting. Students honored were (from left) Alexis Covington, Silver City Elementary School; Bruce Saccucci, West Middle School; and Joseph King, Washington High School.
Congratulations to December Students of the Month for the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools.
Alexis Covington, 2nd grader at Silver City Elementary School, was nominated by her teacher Lynell Sadeghi. Alexis has worked very hard to make changes for the better. She started the year by interrupting instruction by talking and not paying attention. She has made a 360-degree turn. I can count on her to serve as a role model as she not only pays attention, but also participates regularly in class discussions, is well-focused on her work and is showing responsibility for learning.
Bruce Saccucci, 7th grader at West Middle School, was nominated by Shelly Beech, principal. Bruce is one of those students whose mere presence impacts all of those who come in contact with him. Bruce is a learner who understands the importance of hard work. Each and every day you can find him working diligently in his classroom. He wants to make the most of each day and will be quick to tell you what he is learning and why it is important. Bruce is not only an example of a good student, but he is also a leader in his classroom. He keeps other students on track with his enthusiasm and involvement in the classroom. He simply does what is expected and continues to be the best student he possibly can.
Joseph King, 12th grader at Washington High School, was nominated by teacher Gayle Kebodeaux. As a sophomore, Joey did not particularly buy into the educational process. Fast forward two years and now as a senior he was elected by his peers as president of the National Honor Society. He is a mature, driven and wonderful young man who leads his fellow honor students. NHS was not a student-run organization before Joey took the helm. He completed his entire requirement for community service over his summer vacation. He is the idyllic candidate for student of the month. This normal, not quite mature student has developed into a leader whom we can be proud to call a "soon be graduate" of Washington High School.
