Valerie Ivannikov is the Freshman of the Month! She chose FDR as her high school, because she heard many people say that it is a great school, with great teachers. Also, there are a wide range of activities provided by the school. Valerie’s experience, so far at FDR, has been great! She enjoys her classes and really likes the students. She has even joined the FDR Tennis Team this spring. Valerie believes that her teachers are motivating her to do better. She thinks she was selected to be this Month’s Freshman of the Month, because she pays close attention in class and receives good grades.  Keep up the good work Valerie!  We are glad to have you in the Cougar Family.
