tinleyjunction.com school The tinley junction | September 13, 2018 | 9 The tinley Junction’s Standout Student Sponsored by Marquette Bank Luke Watzke, Victor J. Andrew High School, Senior Luke Watzke, a senior at Victor J. Andrew High School, is an Eagle Scout who hopes to one day work for Tesla. He is this week’s Standout Student. What is one essential you must have when studying? I like to have a nice quiet place with no distractions. This way I can get through my work without being tempted to scroll through social media or check texts from my friends. What do you like to do when not in school or studying? When I am not in school, I am usually either doing fun things with my friends, such as going out to Six Flags, getting something to eat, etc., or working as a lifeguard at Lifetime Fitness. In addition, I also volunteer my time with the Boy Scouts, as I recently received my Eagle Scout. I also play soccer and baseball on competitive teams outside of the high school. Between school and club, a lot of my time is dedicated to sports. What is your dream job? My dream job is to be a Computer Analyst for Tesla. I love the innovation and influx of new ideas that come in there. What are some of your most played songs on your iPod? Some of my most played songs include “Dying in LA” and “High Hopes” by Panic at the Disco. I also listen to a lot of AJR and other similar artists. What is one thing people don’t know about you? One thing people often don’t know about me is that I am an Eagle Scout. People think that because I play sports, I’m unlikely to be in Boy Scouts, but I’m an active member of Troop 442 in Tinley Park. Whom do you look up to and why? My idol growing up was always Curtis Granderson. He was inspirational because he was “just a kid from Chicago” who got drafted into MLB and never let anyone tell him how to play. He played with a joy that made the game extra special. Also, the charity work he has done for Chicago and other major cities is truly inspirational. Who is your favorite teacher and why? My favorite teacher is Mr. Stirn. He teaches some great subjects and always knows how to liven it up and keep it interesting for his students. It has been two years since I have had him as a teacher, and he still greets me whenever I stop by. What’s your favorite class and why? My favorite class is U.S. History. I am a huge history buff and I love learning about what our forefathers went through to form this country and the trials we faced. My favorite subtopic would have to be WWII. What’s one thing that stands out about your school? One thing that really stands out about VJA is the Photo Submitted immense amount of help students are offered through “The Center” tutoring program and just the general helpfulness of all staff members. If you could change one thing about school what would it be? If I could change one thing it would be how some people approach high school. Too many kids act as if they don’t care, but it’s impacting their future and when they look back, they won’t have any fond memories to reflect on. High School has been an amazing period in time for me and I wish more people could say the same. What’s your favorite thing to eat in the cafeteria? My favorite thing to eat from the cafeteria would be a potato bowl. Outside of sports seasons, I get one almost ever week. The potatoes, gravy, chicken, and cheese combine to make one amazing item. What’s your best memory from school? My favorite memory from school is getting to represent the school as a Senior Leader from the Class of 2019. It has been an amazing experience to get to work with Mr. Nolting, Mr. Nolan, staff, and the Classes of 2019 through 2022. Standout Student is a weekly feature in The Tinley Junction. Students are nominated by Tinley Park area schools. Tinley Park student earns transfer scholarship to Columbia College STAFF REPORT Popsicles with the principal Tinley Park’s Bannes elementary enjoys end of summer treats SUBMITTED BY KIRBY SCHOOL DISTRICT 140 Tinley Park’s Anthony Pellegrino, a 2018 Moraine Valley Community College graduate, has been named a recipient of a $10,000 Chicagoland Transfer Award. Pellegrino Pellegrino’s winning essay, “How My Community College Prepared Me for Success at Columbia,” earned him the scholarship to pursue his bachelor’s degree in Comedy Writing and Performance at Columbia College Chicago. Pellegrino, who graduated magna cum laude from Moraine Valley, plans to pursue a career in comedy and film acting. “I am so relieved to get this scholarship,” Pellegrino said. “This takes a lot of weight off my shoulders. I’m very lucky and very, very grateful.” His essay relayed his gratitude to two Moraine Valley teachers who taught him the importance of networking and reaching out to faculty who can provide valuable assistance when needed. Once enrolled at Moraine Valley, he learned more about his craft from several of his teachers, including Communications adjunct instructor Raymond Berry, who encouraged Pellegrino to take classes at Second City; and Dr. Craig Rosen, Academic Theater Program coordinator and professor of Theater, who gave him a new perspective on acting techniques. “Mr. Berry really pushed me,” he said. “I took the Second City classes at night—completed all of the acting programs and successfully auditioned for the acting conservatory. It was a rigorous schedule, especially since I was at Moraine Valley full-time, but it paid off.” In July Pellegrino signed a non-exclusive contract that will help him obtain some experience with television commercials and film work. Rosen’s teaching methods and compassion, Pellegrino said, complemented his knowledge. “I was used to one specific way of acting through my Second City classes and Doc definitely prepared me for whatever follows because it was the first time I had another acting perspective, and the methods I learned from him all made sense to me,” he said. Bannes Elementary Principal Dan Callaghan (right) greets students and their families on Aug. 24 during “Popsicles with the Principal.” PHOTO SUBMITTED New Bannes Elementary Principal Dan Callaghan welcomed families to “Popsicles with the Principal” on Aug. 24.

It was a great way to celebrate the end of summer and give Mr. Callaghan an opportunity to get to know his new school community. Callaghan was selected to lead the school beginning with the 2018-19 school year, taking over for Principal Terry Kowalski who retired last year. Principal Callaghan holds a master’s degree in School Administration from Governor’s State University and a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Trinity Christian College. He is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Educational Leadership degree from the University of St. Francis. Mr. Callaghan has been with the District for the past 15 years and was most recently the Assistant Principal at Prairie View Middle School. His prior experience includes teaching PE, Health, and Fitness at Prairie View and teaching third and fifth grades at Millennium Elementary School. “I’m honored that I have the opportunity to become part of the Bannes family,” stated Mr. Callaghan. “I’m really looking forward to working together with the students, staff, and families to ensure the students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.”
