February's Star, McKell B.,was recognized not only for going above and beyond academically but also for her strong, positive social and emotional skills. Her teachers regard McKell's ability to get along with peers and adults and to "truly accept everyone for who they are" as her most remarkable qualities.
De La Salle's "Star of the Month" Program recognizes one student each month for embodying the values of Lasallian education, including excellence both in and outside of the classroom. The Star of the Month is nominated by staff and selected by staff and students. Each month, this exemplary student is recognized during our Star of the Month celebration.
