Claudia, a sophomore at James Bowie High School, won The Student of the Month award April 15, 2015. “Its very unreal that I won student of the month, I didn’t think anyone would vote for me.”

To win student of the month a teacher or staff member must nominate you and the students vote on the choices.

“Claudia is a wonderful student, she works very hard and its obvious she does. She nice to everyone and always helps other students who are struggling.” Mrs. White, Claudia’s Algebra II teacher.

Most of the winners of Student of the month are in extracurricular activities. They are usually in honor societies or clubs. “I believe that Student of the Month nominees should be in extracurricular activities or clubs, maybe even tutor other students. It shows how invested they are in the school.” Mr. Reyes, The Principal of James Bowie High School.

Claudia doesn’t tutor students after or before school but she’s on a sports team and in one club. “When I’m not at home doing school work I’m playing baseball after school with my friends and I go to the art club once a week.”

189 people voted for Claudia, most were happy and they thought she deserved it, except for Penelope Silverstein. “I deserved Student of the Month, not Claudia. I’m in more clubs and I’m actually the president of one and I participate in many extracurricular activities. 

“Claudia only won because most of the sophomore class is following her on twitter, she posted so many photos and tweets about voting for her. This was just a popularity contest.” Kendal Peters, a supporter of Penelope.
