Last Week: Student of the Month
Our March Student of the month is Maya Belayneh!

Maya is a bright light at Farmington High School. Her counselor and teachers describe her as brave, artistic, lively, positive, and friendly. She is highly engaged in the school community and participates in theater, advanced art, the Diversity Club, and the Women of Color Empowerment Club—often taking on leadership roles within these groups.
Maya is one of three children in her family, and her mother describes her as the glue that holds them all together. While she is still exploring her future path, she is drawn to art, film, or criminology and has expressed interest in beginning her general studies at Normandale Community College.
