Congratulations to Abby Speckhals and Alex Roth for being selected as this year's Connecticut Association of Boards of Education Student Leaders. Mr. Wygonik presented the students with their award at last week's Board of Education. Both of these students are so deserving of this award. Below are the remarks shared by Mr. Wygonik at the meeting.
| Abby Speckhals Abby is a leader with a strong presence at Lyme Old Lyme High School. She is a bright, independent, and dedicated young woman, who is committed to both academic and personal excellence. Abby’s strong ethical values are displayed in her daily life in the way she treats others, with kindness and respect. A High Honor Student, she loves to learn. She is especially passionate in the field of STEM. She is driven by curiosity and ingenuity. A great example of Abby’s commitment is her role as a leader on the robotics team. Nominated for the FIRST Robotics Dean’s List Award, Abby has taken the top responsibilities with programming, building and coding the Robots. In addition to her work in Robotics, Abby can be seen producing our weekly School News program as well as competing for our Math team. Abbey is a four-year member of the Volleyball team and served as a captain her senior year. Abby’s impacts are broad. She is an essential member of our community who shines brightly in everything she does. | Alex Roth Alex is a smart, thoughtful, and caring young man, driven to succeed both in and outside the classroom. Alex is multi-talented and accomplished, while being one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He has become known in our school and community as the “go to” person for video and film production. As founder and president of “Alex Roth Media”, He has produced numerous videos that highlight our school. Alex also lends his talents as an editor and producer of out a weekly news program for WLYM. I mentioned in my opening that Alex is multi-talented. I had the privilege of watching him build a camping trailer for his senior project. As if this isn’t enough, Alex is catcher and Captain on our Varsity Baseball Team. Alex has also worked as an intern in our Athletic department utilizing his talents to promote our teams and manage our social media platforms. He will attend The University of Connecticut next year where he has already landed a job in the sports media department. |
On Tuesday morning, as I was running around preparing for the class of 2026 to descend on LOLHS, I came across Olivia Schaedler hunched over in a taped off corner of our commons. She was working on her senior project: an "Infiorata", or flower carpet. The images you see below are made with dried flowers and petals that Olivia collected for several months. She was inspired by the Infiorata Festivals that occur Italy. Take a look at this amazing work...Absolutely stunning!
We would like to recognize and celebrate Abby Sicuranza who signed her Committment Letter to play tennis at St. Lawrence Univeristy.
WAY TO GO ABBY!
