Pike-Delta-York Local School District principals recognized their schools’ students of the month during last week’s school board meeting.
Delta Elementary School Principal Ellen Bernal presented the award to first grader Jayda Incorvaia, reading a statement from Incorvaia’s teacher, Andrea Floray.
Floray said Incorvaia is willing to help her classmates from tying their shoes to in-class work, seeks out ways to help the teacher, always has a smile on her face, maintains a positive attitude, shows perseverance when doing something difficult, and excels in her schoolwork.
Delta Middle School Principal Shawn Murphy presented the award to fifth grader Archer Martinez.
According to Murphy, Martinez consistently demonstrates excellent academic performance in all subject areas, “often going above and beyond the expectation on assignments,” maintains a positive attitude, is attentive during instruction and actively participates in instruction, comes to class prepared, is always excited to learn something new, and when absent is proactive about finding out what he missed and completing it.
“Not only does Archer strive to get the most out of all learning experience for himself, he’s also a great role model for his peers,” Murphy said, adding “he’s always the first one to jump in and help others in need whether it’s answering a question or helping a student get organized.”
“He has the unique ability to see the good in any situation, and is a positive, uplifting person to all around him.”
Delta High School Principal Doug Ford presented the award to sophomore Brady Smith. Ford said Smith’s teachers’ comments mirrored one another, with multiple comments on his great work ethic, respectful treatment of classmates and teachers, great attitude, “impressive” time management skills, thoughtfulness, enthusiasm, and perseverance that have led to “tremendous” strides academically, athletically, and personally over the last year. “They can’t wait to see what comes next,” Ford said.
