Emily Brady of Townsend and Lorrainy Rodrigues of Ayer have been selected as May Students of the Month at Nashoba Valley Technical High School, based on the school’s “Portrait of a Graduate” attributes: resourceful, responsible, resilient, respectful and ready.
Emily Brady, daughter of Matthew and Mary Brady, is a freshman in the Carpentry program. She competes for the indoor and spring track teams.
Emily was nominated by Carpentry instructor Timothy Ayres, who wrote that she depicts all of the attributes in Nashoba Tech’s “Portrait of a Graduate,” both in academics and in Carpentry.
Lorrainy Rodrigues, daughter of Leonardo de Castro and Vera Moura, is a sophomore in the Engineering Technology program. She is an honors student who has received the Seal of Biliteracy for English and Portuguese and will try to earn a second Seal in Spanish. Earlier this year, she was one of three bilingual students from Nashoba Tech who sat on a panel run by the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education about the Seal of Biliteracy.
She plays tennis for the Vikings and plans to attend college to become an architect.
Lorrainy was nominated by Spanish teacher Amy St. Arnaud, who wrote that she is a “hardworking and conscientious student who is always striving to do her best work” and that she is “a friend to all with a kind personality and outstanding character.”
