Our 10/20 Student of the Week is Christopher Cegielnik!

Christopher is a freshman at Roxbury High School. He is a member of Interact and the Yearbook Club. Christopher’s days outside of school are spent hanging out with friends, bike riding, and playing sports. Some of Christopher’s friends had the following to say:

“I’ve known Chris since 5th grade, and ever since then, he’s been one of my best friends. He is always fun to talk to, but is also great when it comes to important conversations. Even though we haven’t been able to see each other as much this year, I still always enjoy seeing him at lunch. He is an all-around great friend.” – Nathan Fiore, Freshman

Congratulations to Christopher Cegielnik, our 10/20 Student of the Week!
