Student of the Week: Lauren Snoke
“I am a senior and a varsity athlete at Roxbury High School. I am on the RHS Volleyball Team and RHS Lacrosse team. I am a starting player on the lacrosse team and a captain. I am also a member of the Interact Club, National Honor Society, Varsity R, and Spanish National Honor Society. Outside of school, I like spending time with my friends and family, and going to the beach when it’s warm.” – Lauren Snoke
“Lauren Snoke is going to be entering her 4th season on the varsity lacrosse program, and there is not a negative thing to say about Lauren. On top of Lauren being a lockdown defender for us, she is the ULTIMATE teammate. She has a great demeanor and forges amazing relationships with her teammates to the point where she can push those around her to be the best they can be and they know she always has their back. She has also been a tremendous role model for the younger players in the program both on the field, in the classroom, and around town. She is someone that is definitely deserving and a great choice for Student of the Week!” – Mr. Bewalder, Lacrosse Coach
“Lauren is a consistently positive member of our classroom community. She is always willing to give activities and discussions the benefit of the doubt and dives in with an enthusiasm that inspires her peers to join in.” – Mr. Hansen & Mrs. Solotist
Congratulations to our 10/21 Student of the Week!
