Andrew Bombard was honored as the Rotary Club’s Student of the Month for September. Several of Andrew’s teachers at Suffield High School have noticed his well-rounded hard work and passion for service above self. Mrs. Candia-Bovi said, “Andrew’s reputation for academic excellence and an outstanding work ethic precedes him, but I have been even more impressed by how these traits are further enhanced by his kindness and conscientiousness. In every aspect of his academic life, whether it’s tackling assignments, engaging in extracurricular activities, or contributing to group projects, Andrew shows unwavering dedication and a sincere drive to excel. His ability to share ideas from a deeply reflective perspective enriches our classroom discussions and group activities alike. Consistently exceeding expectations, Andrew not only meets but often surpasses high standards, holding himself accountable to a level of excellence that is both admirable and inspiring.” Mr. Wheeler has noticed Andrew gaining confidence over the last few years and appreciates his efforts as Class President to increase student involvement and successfully plan Suffield on the Green, Trivia Night and other activities for the Class of 2024.
