Congratulations Evy Marmon for being nominated by Tina Hamm as HomeTech’s student of the month! Mrs. Hamm said, “Evy is most deserving of this recognition due to her benevolent, astute contributions in our English 9 class. One requirement of our poetry unit is to share original compositions aloud to the class. Needless to say, it's a bit scary for teenagers to share anything they have written, especially a piece of poetry! Then there's Evy. She is a wizard with words and is not afraid to use them! Beyond sharing her own fabulous poetry, she was chosen by her peers to give feedback on the poems that they shared. Evy listened carefully to each one and then spoke with passion and purpose about what that poet did well. She made poetry feel like a risk worth taking. She made it fun. Evy is a wonderful team-player and it's a pleasure to have her in class.” Thank you Evy for being the wonderful young person you are! Thank you to Red Lion Pizza in Magalia for supporting HomeTech's students' successes by giving them a personal pizza and soda!
