Congratulations to middle schoolers Vanessa E. and Michelle P., both named student-of-the-month at their respective middle schools, IS 204, and IS 73. They received their awards this month. The awards were given out for going above and beyond normal expectations.
Michelle, in eighth grade, and Vanessa, in sixth, were both excited to win. “I was excited,” Vanessa said. “And really happy.” Her friends leaked the news to her before the teacher. Michelle won for the second time, the first time having been in third grade. “I was happy because I had to wait five years!”

Row New York asked each girl to describe the best qualities of the other. “She’s very calm,” Vanessa said of Michelle. “I think she’s smart.” Michelle called Vanessa “very nice” and added, “She likes reading so I think she’s very smart.” Both girls displayed their smarts in their favorite classes. For Michelle, math, and for Vanessa, English language and math.

Row New York congratulates both girls on their awards.
