We congratulate Mia Quinlan of Marion, a junior at ORR, for being named as Student of the Month for March. Mia is honest, responsible, and mature. She sets high academic and civic goals for herself, taking full responsibility for her own learning. She participates in music programs, teaches music lessons, and teaches sailing lessons. She is also training with G.R.I.T. for the Providence marathon this May. Mia is able to balance all of these activities with a positive attitude while maintaining an admirable GPA.
