Student of the Week
January 30th– February 3rd
One of the most challenging things we do as teachers is write recommendations for our 8th graders. We are asked to describe
the student using the first three words that come to mind when we think of the student. Distilling who you are in only three
words is difficult because you are multidimensional. There is your character, your gifts, your academics, your work ethic, your
contributions to the school community, what kind of a citizen you are as well as your maturity, leadership and relationship
with peers and faculty. Of course we have an opportunity to write an additional narrative to expound on these areas, but
finding three words is difficult.
Whenever I develop a write up for a Student of the Week, I try to use the three words approach to “jump start” the narra-
tive. Blest, engaged, unafraid: these are my three words for this individual.
Blest, because she has a caring family, who encourage and inspire her. She speaks of them in glowing terms. She also has a
close, supportive, circle of friends who are as good to her as she is to them. Clearly she is blest.
Engaged, because she is an active part of the St. Timothy Middle School community. She is a willing volunteer and a happy
face in the hallways. She is so very proud of her school and enjoys telling people that she attends St. Timothy’s.
Unafraid, because she has discovered the key to success inside and outside the classroom, is to tackle anything asked of her
with a can do spirit. I am always met with a winning smile and “of course!” whenever I ask her to attempt something outside
of her comfort zone.
The best part of this student’s story is that this is an evolution that has taken place over the past three years. My student of
the week has grown spiritually, academically, and socially since entering St.
Timothy’s Middle School in sixth grade. I am delighted to see the person she is
today.
It is with great pleasure that I present Chyanne Castle as my Student of the
Week.

Catholic Schools Week in L.A and History Monday in a combined Language Arts and History class our 8th graders had two very special guests. Attorney John DelBarba, Supervisory Assistant Public Defender, and Attorney James Turcotte, Supervisory Assistant State's Attor-ney, visited to discuss the latest novel the students have read in class. The novel is Monster by Walter Dean Myers and involves a young man on trial. Our students were able to act out the final courtroom scene with the real attorneys and then ask many questions about the law and the novel itself. We were honored to have them both take time out of their incredibly busy schedules to visit and educate our stu-dents! Mrs. Tyrrell and Mr. Driscoll
Catholic Schools Week in Gym Class
In both Mr. Martin and Mrs. Locke’s gym classes the students are having a fantastic time competing in fun games
like the Mine Field Game, Around the World and the Three Point Contest.
Faculty and Staff Appreciation Luncheon
Thank you so much to the Home and School Association and especially, Chris Casciani, Wendy Miller, Susan Reboul, Meg Mur-
phy, Carolyn Hovorka, Lynn Wilkos, Cheryl Samele and Liliana Cuevas for hosting a beautiful lunch for all of us today! This is
such a special part of Catholic Schools week and are truly grateful!
