Southdown Students Are Learning and Growing Together

Southdown Primary School students know they have an awful lot to be thankful for as they head into December, the holidays and new year. The youngsters love their school and classmates and they are having fun learning and growing together.

Principal Jill Amott-Erwig and Southdown’s faculty and staff members are always looking for students who particularly stand out around the building. These youngsters are designated for the Splash Award and considered Students of the Month.

November’s honorees included:

Universal Pre-Kindergarten: Frederick Wanser, Teagen Wagner

Kindergarten: James Warner, Davis Freund, David Perez Gonzalez, Morgan McAleavey

First Grade: Leylani Rivas Mojica, Emily Ventura, Rachel Coreas Manueles

Second Grade: Eva Liu, Shivansh Verma, Alexa Martinez, Alondra Velasquez Vasquez

Third Grade: Matthew Sabino, Adary Lopez Shocochic, Haris Qasim, Rashel Moreira Hernandez

The students were recognized for their overall effort and performance in classrooms and all around the building and grounds. The Splash Awards are named for the school’s mascot; a dolphin, which is well known for splashing water on anyone nearby.

The Splash Award recipients are a wonderful group of boys and girls who are proud of their work and school. Teachers and parents are just as proud of them and so is Ms. Amott-Erwig.

The award winners couldn’t be happier. Like anyone else, they enjoy getting a pat on the back for a job well done. They are working hard and they love coming to school and interacting with their teachers. They are enthusiastic, inquisitive and respectful boys and girls who take delight in being members of the Southdown School community.
