I attended the 2nd Thursday of the month Rotary Club Meeting/Breakfast at Windsor 75 Diner Restaurant. After being postponed from April, WLHS Junior Peter Graywacz (looking dapper in his teal shirt and matching bow-tie) was recognized this morning as the Rotary Club WLHS "May Student of the Month." (The Windsor/Windsor Locks/East Granby Rotary Club also recognized one student from East Granby High School as its Rotary Club "Student of the Month.") Multiple WLHS teachers nominated Peter. Originally, Shannon Verissimo had planned to speak on Peter's behalf but she was on a Field Trip today. I spoke about Peter, highlighting his academic achievement, work ethic, love of learning, his involvement with the audio engineering for school events, and being a quality young man and positive role model here at WLHS. In his gracious acceptance speech, Peter emphasized his passion for learning, especially Mathematics and Science, and his desire to become a teacher. Peter praised Mrs. Verissimo and all of his WLHS teachers; he also shared his great appreciation for his positive educational experience here at Windsor Locks High School. His proud parents attended.
