We congratulate Sophomore Faith Oliver, of Mattapoisett, for being selected as Student of the Month for December by the Old Rochester Regional High School Staff. Faith goes out of her way to help others and works hard in all of her classes. Faith has been volunteering in the Postsecondary Transition Class for the last two years. Faith is a wonderful role model to the Transition Students. She supports the students with technology needs, daily living skills, functional academic goals, and vocational training. Faith is willing to lend a helping hand wherever she is needed in the classroom and always brings a great attitude and a smile to class each and every day. Her academic teachers report that Faith is an excellent student who has really come out of her shell this year. She is tolerant of everyone in the classroom, can help explain things to classmates around her, and has a fantastic sense of humor and incredible work ethic. “She has an old soul and her wisdom is apparent in her behavior as well as her humor,” reports one of her teachers. Faith’s amazing attributes and contributions mark her as a perfect candidate for ORRHS Student of the Month.
