�n of the Month
Poline is an excellent student with a 3,7 grade point average. She is also a inernber of
student government and works very hard on all the different student sponsored activities.
She is.a wonderful role model not only for the other students but also for everyone she
comes in contact with, She is one of the few survivors of a large family that came to the
United States from Southeast Asia. WI -ion any people would use such a past as an
excuse not to be successful, she uses it as a reason to succeed.
