Mikayla deserves this award for her hard work, resilience, and positive attitude in class.  She is a great role model for her peers.

It is a pleasure to have Fiona in PE! She works hard, has a positive attitude and goes above and beyond what is expected from her! She is a natural leader and a great role model to other students! So lucky to have her in my class this year!

Jenny has emerged as a strong leader in her group and our biology class as a whole. She is not afraid to ask questions, she pays attention, and she sets a wonderful example for other students. Her willingness to teach and learn, to step up and step back, and to advocate for herself make her a true Super Spartan!

Camden approaches class, learning, and everything that I have seen him attempt, seriously. When in groups, he is a calmly confident leader that listens to his groupmates and guides the conversation and overall progress forward. He is an excellent group member, and is often the unspoken leader by example.

Gabe is a tremendous leader in our 2nd period AP Comp class.  He is a willing and active participant in all activities, and he never shies away from starting the dialogue, asking a question, or testing an idea.  Gabe leads by example not just in academics, but he also has a positive attitude each day and extends his friendly, open nature to all in our class. He is outgoing, yet focused.  Gabe also is considerate towards his classmates and to me, his teacher. He is often one of the first to lend a hand to help - even when not asked, he anticipates what might be helpful and does it.  Gabe is a young man of exceptional academic and personal character. He displays exceptional leadership in our class.

Tony has been a leader among the AVID students in my AP Comp class. Tony has consistently asked questions of me in order to clarify his understanding of class requirements and of his fellow students in order to clarify his understanding of class concepts. In addition, Tony has helped other AVID students complete work by explaining assignments and encouraging them to work through difficult tasks. Already, this has resulted in improved understanding in all areas of work in the class. Keep it up, Tony!!

Noah demonstrates great leadership in class by helping and encouraging his classmates, demonstrating unwavering enthusiasm every day, and a passion for learning. His love of learning and love of Spanish is contagious, and his classmates appreciate his energetic personality!

Sophia has been a real treasure in 6th period CWI by helping me make a welcoming environment for all students.  I have seen her actively work to include her table mates, help struggling students and be a leader of her peers.  She has gone out of her way to make students who might otherwise feel left out or vulnerable feel included, supported and values.  I am impressed with her every day. She deserves recognition for making my classroom more of a community.

Arie is extremely hard working in PE class! She always puts her best effort forward in everything we do! She is welcoming to all of her peers in class and shows true leadership! So lucky to have her as a part of Total Fitness!

Moises has great ideas during class discussions. He leads by example in his friendly attitude and willingness to support his classmates through keeping class work organized daily. The class tone is influenced by Moises' stepping up everyday to help.

Daniel exemplifies leadership by serving on the Immigrant Resource Committee, working diligently in and outside of school, and serving as a positive example to other students. His kindness and compassion for others shines through in so many ways.

Patrick spends every 5th period volunteering in a  classroom to help students who struggle with math. Not only does he help them with math, but he also talks to them about joining clubs and sports at school.  He also spends time to help the students with other subjects. Patrick makes the students feel welcomed and like they belong to the school. The kids love having him in class because they can talk to him about soccer, but they also love to ask him for help.  Patrick is a student who shows what it means to be a Spartan in everything he does.

Tony volunteers everyday in a math class to help students who struggle with math.  Besides volunteering in a class, he has helped two students with a presentation for Ted Talk.  Because the students felt that they were not good speakers, Tony has helped coach them and gave them pointers on how to look at a crowd when speaking.  He has helped the students with the portion of the Ted Talk that will be in Spanish. The students look up to Tony and love asking him for help. Besides helping the students with Ted Talk, he will pull a group of students aside to help them learn math concepts and to review concepts they are struggling with.  Tony also encourages the students to pursue other activities at school and has told the students that he would come to the activities that they are involved in. Tony is another student who represents what a Spartan is and should be.

Her involvement with BSU also makes Mountain View a more welcoming and inclusive school.
