A. High <strong>School</strong> Student of the Month - January & February<br />
The Principal of the <strong>Florence</strong> <strong>Township</strong> Memorial High <strong>School</strong> presented twelfth grader, Gina Laureti,<br />
with the Bordentown Elks Lodge January Student of the Month award. Gina is a wonderful member of the<br />
senior class. She challenges herself with Advanced Placement and Honors classes while maintaining her<br />
extensive extra-curricular activities. Polite, responsible and a friend to all, Gina serves as Captain of Varsity<br />
Cheerleading. She is a four-year member of Student Council and helps out during the National Honor Society<br />

The Principal of the <strong>Florence</strong> <strong>Township</strong> Memorial High <strong>School</strong> presented twelfth grader, Russell<br />
MacArthur, with the Bordentown Elks Lodge February Student of the Month award. During the past four years,<br />
Russell has grown and matured from a shy and quiet ninth grade student into a focused and communicative<br />
young man ready for graduation. He is always prepared and to the point when we discuss future career plans<br />
and colleges that might offer him the best chance for success. He is an outstanding student achieving honor<br />
grades in very challenging courses while participating in soccer, track, spring musicals and scouting activities<br />
to name a few of his outside interests. Russell is definitely not shy any longer and as I get to know him better,<br />
I understand why he is so successful. He is organized, involved, dedicated and possesses a high set of<br />
standards by which he lives.<br />
