Kearstin Bell - 11th Grade Recipient
Kearstin said she felt amazing about being chosen for Student of the Month. She attended Dana Middle School and is now a Junior at San Pedro High School. Kearstin is also a Principal Pirate Dancer, Black Student Union member, New Life Club member, and FCA member. Her favorite subjects this year are Speech and Math because the teachers (Ms. Marino and Ms. Kim) make the topics interesting and help her understand it more. She said they both also have infectious positivity that can't help but keep you engaged. Kearstin enjoys dancing, playing ice hockey, listening to oldies music, and watching TV. When asked what she liked about SAS she said "I like the sense of community that comes form being in SAS. The students I have classes with today, I've known since 9th grade and all of us have grown together. We can help each other out as students and ask for help for any of our teachers if needed. Everyone is approachable and fun to be around. I think SAS helps with building relationships as well through the end of semester parties and field trips taken." The advice she would give someone who's interested in joining SAS is "I would tell someone who was interested in joining SAS that it will definitely get you college-ready as well as give you amazing experiences that can help you decide what you want to do in the future."
Kearstin was nominated by Ms. Rodriguez, her AP English Language teacher. Ms. Rodriguez nominated Kearstin for best attitude and best participation. When asked why she chose to nominate Kearstin she said "I can always count on Kearstin to participate and be prepared for class. She is a great contributor to the class discussion and does not wait to be called on! That makes such a difference, especially in on-line learning!"
