Las Animas Junior / Senior High School HECTOR of the Week award winners are, from left: Mrs. Armstrong — Mrs. Armstrong has done a tremendous job changing the atmosphere of the small group room. The students who are in there to catch up and do their work feel welcome, calm, and have a room where they can be productive. On the flip side, students who are assigned the classroom for ISS do not feel like it is a cool place to hang out as she maintains strict ISS expectations, ensures those students stay awake, and ensures they have work to complete during their time in ISS. Keep up the great work Mrs. Armstrong. High school — Jacob Gearhart. Jacob is a bright kid when he decides to be. He has been a star in the Ag shop and has been a pillar of the Ag industry in Las Animas throughout his high school career. He is an excellent representation of HECTOR as he helps folks in the community and we are looking forward to seeing where his path takes him. Junior high — Melina Russell. Melina has given excellent effort in all of her classes. She remains on task and works well with others. She shows up to class ready and with a positive attitude. She is very respectful to her teachers. She also works very hard in sports and is improving daily in track. We are all very proud of how Melina shows HECTOR in our school!Susan Waring / Las Animas Schools
