POTW: This week’s Panther of the Week is Matt Penafiel.  He is a sophomore who made 3rd Honors.  Matt was nominated by Ms. Hanna Awwad.  Ms. Awwad said “Matt is an incredibly respectful and hardworking student.  At the start of each class, Ms. Awwad and Matt greet every student at the door as they walk in.  He is consistently prepared and always participates in class.  He sets a positive example for other students in the class.  He is a leader in kindness and patience and ELA II is lucky to have him!” (Photos submitted by Matt Velino, Johnston High School Assistant Principal)
