Watervliet High School

YOUR FRESHMAN STUDENT OF THE MONTH--ZAYLEA PATES! Zaylea Pates was nominated by Mr. Corkins, Mr. Linderman and Mrs. Lefor. I live with my mom, my dad, my step parents, my younger brother and two stepsisters. My older brother lives in Ohio and is 23. I have 5 dogs, not all in the same house though. I also have two bearded dragons, 3 bunnies and a cat in our home. My favorite class would probably be ELA because reading and writing are some of my favorite things to do! I have multiple favorite teachers because they have been really nice and enjoyable teachers: Mrs. Riedinger if she were here, Mr. Steele, Mr. Linderman, Mrs. Lefor and Mr. Dimino. They have all been so welcoming to the start of my high school year. I tried out for volleyball but sadly did not make the team this year due to a stretched tendon in my knee. In my free time I enjoy making poetry and posting it. I also like to read and I like to play with my bearded dragons: Trevor and Wizzy. I also enjoy collecting things. I collect sewing pins although I don't sew and I collect beer bottle caps and will eventually make art out of it. After high school I plan to look for careers in paranormal investigation and possibly go to college for it. If that career does not work, my next go is to become a tattoo artist. I am proud to be a WHS panther because there are such kind people at the school and it's such a welcoming place. Mr. Tremblay shared: She works hard each day and appreciate her positive attitude in class Mrs. Lefor shared: I am so proud of you! Zaylea, you are a student that gives 110% every day. I appreciate your hard work and more importantly your positive attitude. I am lucky to have you at the end of the school day because you always put a smile on my face. I really hope you are taking Spanish next year so we can spend another year learning Spanish together. Mr. Dimino shared: Zaylea Pates has given a strong academic effort in Algebra all year. She asks questions in class and over email and doesn't hesitate to demand answers. Her effort in class is a model for her classmates, and many students have worked in groups with her and upped their own effort because of Zaylea. Mr. Linderman shared: Zaylea is an incredibly hard-working student who has not missed a single assignment this entire school year in World History. Her assessment scores have improved significantly throughout the year due to her impressive work ethic. She is always prepared for class and brings a great positive attitude on a daily basis.

YOUR FRESHMAN STUDENT OF THE MONTH--MADISON DARLING! Madison was nominated by Mrs. Lefor, Mrs. Sibley, Mr. Corkins, and Mrs. Richcreek. My parents are Tiffany and Joshua Darling. I have three siblings: Ivan, Kenzi, and Adeline. My favorite class has been Spanish because it is fun. My favorite teacher is Mrs. Lefor because she is nice and understanding. I am in the Student Council and I play Volleyball and Soccer. In my free time I like to hang out with my friends and family. After high school I plan to go to college and become a Veterinarian. I am proud to be a Watervliet Panther because of the opportunities I get. Mrs. Simmons shared: Madison is such a conscientious student. Her positive attitude is infectious and fills the classroom. She is always prepared and attentive in class and excels in English. I look forward to seeing her continue to shine throughout high school. Mr. Tremblay shared: I really appreciate her hard work during PE Class and in all of our activities this year. Mr. Linderman shared: Madison is a diligent, motivated, and conscientious student who has a tremendous work ethic. She is a quiet leader who is respected by her peers and works very well collaboratively. Madison is extremely intelligent, produces work at the highest quality, and consistently scores at the top of the class in World History and Geography.
