Sammy was chosen unanimously by his sixth-grade teachers for the District 13 Above and Beyond Award. Sammy exemplifies what it means to be a W.A.R.R.I.O.R.—being welcoming, ambitious, respectful, responsible, innovative, optimistic, reflective, and successful—going above and beyond in his early middle school career here at Westfield! He is consistently kind and respectful to his peers, teachers, and all staff. Sammy works diligently and manages his time effectively, often using extra time to get ahead on homework so that he can balance his schoolwork with his extracurricular activities, which also include cheering on his big brothers both in high school and college. He’s always willing to help others, whether it’s assisting classmates, guiding new students, or stepping up to any challenge he faces. Sammy demonstrates strong leadership both inside and outside the classroom, serving as a great example to his peers. Keep up the excellent work!
