By: Eric McCaslin-Hahn, Assistant Principal, Athletics and Activities Director Congratulations to the Scholar of the Month winners for the month of April. They were chosen by the Math Department. Dillon Hart - 7th Grade Dillon is very deserving of this award for a number of reasons. He works extremely hard in class and on homework, participates well, and is diligent about learning from his mistakes. Amongst his peers, Dillon leads by example daily. He continually allows others to speak in class, encourages those around him to be bold in class, is always kind, and he is beyond helpful to those around him. Dillon is a wonderful young man and exemplifies what it means to be a D'Evelyn Jaguar. -Ms. Choun: Math Teacher Hanbei Bao - 8th Grade She comes to class each day with enthusiasm and is always extremely well-prepared. As an 8th grader, she is never shy about participating in class even though almost all of the other students in Honors Algebra 3 are in high school. Hanbei thinks outside the box and often has correct approaches to solutions that her teacher has not even considered. In addition, Hanbei has been actively involved in MathCounts for 3 years and advanced to the state-level competition in the last two years. Congratulations, Hanbei! -Ms. Smith: Math Teacher Chloe Harris - 11th Grade As a quiet junior in a class of loud seniors, Chloe flies under the radar. However, anyone who has seen her spotless tests knows she is a master of Calculus. Though Chloe has exceptional natural ability, she doesn't rely on her gifts, working diligently on every set and fun sheet. Way to go Chloe! -Mr. Ryckman: Math Teacher John Famariss - 9th Grade John Famariss is an exceptional student in Algebra 2. He has a natural ability for mathematics and he loves learning.
