A special focus was placed on six students whose faculty nominated them to receive a special title.\u00a0 Plutarco Cruz and Giovanni Da Ros, both seniors, were named Bret Harte\u2019s students of the month for May. Active on Bret Harte\u2019s cheer and dance teams, Cruz has shown a commitment to serving others through his interest in pursuing a nursing degree at Sacramento State.<\/p>\n

Da Ros, an exchange student from Italy, has made a name for himself on Bret Harte\u2019s soccer and track teams. He has one year left in high school and is applying to both the University of Bologna and UCLA.<\/p>\n

\u201cBret Harte is where I learned to understand the value of friendship,\u201d Da Ros said.<\/p>\n

Emily Casey, an 11th grader at Bret Harte, was selected as Bret Harte\u2019s Student of the Semester. Casey is a model independent studies student who thrived when given flexibility and autonomy outside the classroom, according to her teacher Heath Lane.<\/p>\n

Molly Sampson was honored as Vallecito Continuation High School\u2019s student of the semester. Sampson was praised for her success as a singer, her acting talent and her strong critical thinking skills.<\/p>\n

Avery Middle School\u2019s faculty selected two eighth-graders as their students of the semester. Elliot Hungerford and Linnea Johnson were praised as amazing young students when introduced by their principal Scott Nicotero.<\/p>\n

\u201cBehaviorally and academically, she soared above the rest of the Hawks,\u201d Nicotero said of Hungerford. Hungerford, Avery\u2019s valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA, is heavily involved in extracurricular activities.<\/p>\n

Linnea Johnson was celebrated for making Avery\u2019s honor roll, and for skillfully tackling a multitude of roles within the school\u2019s drama department.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to recognize our community\u2019s students because they\u2019ve done so well and worked so hard,\u201d said Paula Cobbett, president of Angels-Murphys Rotary. \u201cWe want to showcase and applaud their achievements and encourage them beyond the present, into their futures.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
