HECTOR of the Week
Staff - Mrs. Japhet is a truly remarkable asset to our team. Her dependability and problem-solving skills are unmatched,
and she approaches every challenge with a positive, approachable attitude. The dedication she shows to both the Athletic
Department and the wider school community is deeply appreciated and widely recognized
JH - "Austin Anderson-Austin is an outstanding student and citizen that represents Las Animas very well. He is a superb
student, always completing his assignments on time with good quality. He has a wealth of knowledge which adds to
discussions and lessons. Austin also represents us well in athletics, always giving his best effort and showing great
sportsmanship. Austin has a great sense of humor and a positive attitude. He also shows tremendous respect for his
teachers and peers. We are very proud of all Austin has accomplished and excited for what he will do in the future.
Austin is HECTOR!""
HS - Deon Wilson demonstrates HECTOR in multiple ways: with his honesty, coachability, and respectfulness in class,
he sets the perfect example of what being HECTOR looks like. He has shown excellence in the weight room, improving
leaps and bounds from where he was last year, and demonstrates tolerance by being a peer mentor.

HS Boys Basketball:
Logan Servaes - Logan has been a positive leader all year and continues to shine in solid moments for us. Keep working
and being awesome Logan.
