The Eastport-South Manor Central School District announced last week that it had selected two dozen students within the junior-senior high school as recipients of the newly christened “Student of the Month” award.
Teachers recommended the students they deemed most deserving of the award and its “positive behavior” criteria. The school’s Positive Behavior and Interventions Support Committee naturally had the final say in determinations. This group is overseen by assistant principals Dr. Sheila Dempsey, Daniel Franchese, and Peter Caccavale.
The students recognized just before the 2024/2025 school year’s winter recess were as follows:
Andrew Ackerman, Brody Cognato, Abigail Dosiak, Addison Fiori, Jaxon Gomes and Mason Quinn (Grade 7); Justin Fricchione, Natalie Hayton, Kaylee Jacobellis, Joshua Jerez, Brayden Mahoney and Payton Satriana (Grade 8); Joseph DeLuca, Lydia Deptuch and Gavin Marino (Grade 9); Arlyn Daniela Lorenzo Lima, Isabella Manfredonia and Ethan Schaarschmidt (Grade 10); Jameson Ackley, Mia Cannavaro and Jaylin Pentzel (Grade 11); and Vincent Abolafia, Carol Chiqui and Jacob Hubbard (Grade 12).
