In each issue, we will be spotlighting a student who shows excellence in the classroom and in our community! Congratulations to Jeremiah Alonzo, Valedictorian of the GSS Class of 2019. Jeremiah will attend the prestigious Regis High School next year on a Full Academic Scholarship. "Good Shepherd has taught me a lot ever since third grade. I've been able to learn from amazing teachers." On going to high school, he says, "I am mostly excited to learn more and step out of my comfort zone in academics, sports, and in my spiritual life. I'm also excited to meet new people and make more friends." On what lesson Jeremiah will take with him once he exits our blue doors, "It's never over until it's over, meaning you aren't finished until you move that tassel from the right side to the left--if you want something badly, try hard." Looking beyond high school, Jeremiah might like to major in finance or science, in the hopes to help find cures for diseases such as cancer. His many awards and activities over his years at GSS include Principals List, Charles T. & Catherine Donohue Family Heritage Award, Brennan Scholarship for Top Student, Senator Robert Jackson Certificate of Achievement, Office of the State Comptroller Achievement Award, 1st place in Manhattan Catholic Schools Math Competition (2018), GSS Theater Club, Harry Potter Club, Basketball Team, Yearbook, Student Council, and has served as an altar server. Wow! Congratulations on everything you have accomplished, Jeremiah, and we wish you nothing but the best at Regis and beyond!

In each issue, we will be spotlighting a student who shows excellence in the classroom and in our community! This month, we are spotlighting James Bahr, a third grader at GSS. James is a student with many talents and interests and has impressed us with his recent blog titled Jimmy's Birds. About his blog, Jimmy says "I wanted readers to learn about birds because if they don't, they can't identify them. You can tell if they are birds of prey, or gulls that want to steal your food. I want them to feel like they know about birds. Birds are pretty cool to me." Alongside his interest in birds, James also plays guitar. He says, "I like to play 'Iron Man' because it is really simple. You have to get the right timing for the notes, especially in the beginning. Music is fun because you can do it yourself easily—you just have to step up. You can't be afraid. You just have to keep playing, even if you mess up." James says about being a student at GSS, "When I am at school, I feel like I'm going to have a good day, because I feel ready for everything. Some days rise up and some days go down, but it's a good place. I learn new things every day." You can also see James on stage crew for GSS Theater Club productions. He says, "I like that you have to go fast, but stay down low. You have to go pretty fast. The goal is for nobody to see you, except what prop you are moving or putting down. You have to be fast!" Congratulations to James on his accomplishments and talents!
