Paige Horton, Riley Morello and Jack Sloboda are Students of the Month

Nashoba Tech has selected Paige Horton of Littleton, Riley Morello of Westford and Jack Sloboda of Littleton as Students of the Month for December, based on the school’s “Portrait of a Graduate” attributes: resourceful, responsible, resilient, respectful and ready.

Paige Horton, daughter of Tyler Horton and Kasey Ensslin, is a freshman who plans to enter the Automotive Technology program. Although only in her first year, she is active in extracurricular activities as a member of SkillsUSA and the freshman executive board. She is a high-honors student and hopes to start her own business after graduation.

Paige was nominated by Spanish teacher Amy St. Arnaud, who wrote: “Paige started the year in Spanish 1 but quickly moved to Spanish 2. She is always stretching what she can do with Spanish and is able to write full paragraphs after just a few months studying Spanish. Paige is a hard worker and a friend to all. She truly embodies our Portrait of a Graduate and has a bright future here at Nashoba Tech.”

Riley Morello, daughter of Chris and Sandra Morello, is a junior who studies Veterinary Science. She plans to continue working with animals after graduation.

Riley was nominated by Veterinary Science instructor Brenna Tomaino, who wrote: “Riley is a pleasure to have in class, but I want to recognize her conduct, empathy, leadership skills and kindness. Riley is always trying her best to keep a positive attitude not only for herself, but in the shop as a whole. I have witnessed Riley taking freshmen under her wing and also making a point to include the more shy students in her groups. These skills are not only essential in the veterinary field, but also as skills of life moving forward.”

Jack Sloboda, son of Greg and Kristen Sloboda, is a senior from Littleton

in the Electrical Technology program. He is an honor-roll student and has participated in SkillsUSA. He works for Littleton Light & Electrical through Nashoba Tech’s Cooperative Education program, which allows qualified juniors and seniors to work in their desired field every other week.

Jack was nominated by Music teacher Sarah Wrathall, who wrote: “Jack brings his best to each and every learning opportunity. His ability to focus on the subject matter and maintain curiosity is admirable. His aptitude for learning will serve him all his life.”
