St. Aloysius Catholic School
Students of the Month for March at Bowling Green’s St. Aloysius School include first-grader Hannah
Judson, who is always ready with a smile for someone who needs help or is sad. She uses her sense of
humor with her expressive voices and facial expressions to cheer up those around her.
Third-grader Peter Eigner uses the life skill of flexibility. He is very adjustable to whatever is
happening without a pout or a spout. He is outstanding in this way due to many moves involving different
schools and to visits to many hospital and doctors for treatment of the cancer he had.
Abel Castillo, of seventh grade, is a born leader who is willing to assist his teachers with organizing
service projects. He developed a system of easy collection of money for the school council candygram
sale. He created a newsletter to inform students of the progress of the Adopt a Family project, and was
a huge help to those setting up for the Mardi Gras celebration.
