Breakfast honors students of the month
By: PATTI MAGEE - Staff Writer | ∞
FALLBROOK -- Four Fallbrook students were in the spotlight during the recent community Student of the Month breakfast, three from Fallbrook High School and one from Ivy High School, Fallbrook Union High School District's continuation school.
The high school students honored were Liz Green, Bret Hasvold and Nick Korean.
Field hockey coach Kathy Waite said Liz Green was voted most inspirational team member.
"She's always ready to do practices, the camps and the games," Waite said. "She works to improve her game. She also begins each game with a team prayer. She does it because I can't do it."
Waite said Liz also has a 3.9 Grade Point Average, volunteers at her church and is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
"She's been a wonderful role model," Waite said.
Assistant Principal John Hayek spoke on behalf of Bret Hasvold, a member of the varsity cross country team. Hayek said it was through cross country that Bret emerged.
"I noticed he was behind the scenes, but then he came out of the shadows through cross country," Hayek said.
Also speaking was Marco Arias who took over as coach following the death of Marty Hauck last September.
"He is a tremendous athlete and his work ethic is tremendous," Arias said. "We made a connection with one another." He hopes to attend college and study sports management.
Nick Korean, the third student from Fallbrook High to be honored, was praised by English teacher Connie Fellios "as an exemplary student who shows love for life daily. He is someone who loves to be in school."
He also is on the Fallbrook High School Associated Student Body, is involved in Fallbrook community theater and has earned the rank of Eagle Scout. His project was building horse shelters at REINS.
He hopes to attend Chapman University and have a career in film making.
Ivy High School Principal Lisa Broomfield said when Jerry came to Ivy he told her he was unmotivated. Now he's on the principal's list and serves as student representative to the site council.
Renee Koch, librarian at Ivy High School, said Jerry is the type of student "you wish you all had. He always has a smile. He helped collect 300 cans of food and then brought them to the food pantry. He's also an accomplished guitarist and enjoys muscle cars. He's well-rounded."
