Grade 6 student Natalie Donnino, Grade 7 student Maria Luiza Correia and Grade 8 student Elise Donnino were named March “Loyola Leaders of the Month” (LLM), a program that promotes self-awareness, the Jesuit philosophy, and an opportunity to develop a greater sense of community among the middle school community.
“Natalie has earned Loyola Leader this month for the Ignatian value of ‘Cura Personalis,’” says Loyola teacher Mrs. Foley-Holmes. “She has consistently shown growth this year, in advocating for herself and others. She volunteers in class, in school and with everyone around her. It’s particularly noted that she cares deeply for others. She is a leader, and we know she will do wonderful things!”
“Maria has earned Loyola Leader for the month of March for her consistent effort in developing her whole self, or the Iganatian value of ‘Cura Personalis,’” says Loyola teacher Mr. DeVito. “Maria challenges herself to demonstrate growth in her academics, social life, spirituality, and emotional well-being. Maria leads by example, and has certainly earned this recognition.”
“Elise has earned the Loyola Leader of the Month for always being there to assist her classmates,” says Loyola teacher Mr. Walsh. “She truly embodies the Ignatian value of Magis. She is always willing to tackle any obstacle in her path, and we can’t wait to see what she will accomplish with her remaining few months at school!”
Each month, a student from each grade who have distinguished themselves and exemplify the two core values of Loyola Academy (“Magis” and “Women and men for and with others”) are recognized by the Loyola Academy team. Students also have the opportunity to submit votes for their peers who they feel have shown great strides in becoming a leader in our community.
