Math in particular. She has been very coachable in both class and sports. She gives full effort in everything she does. She
is a great example of HECTOR for Las Animas Junior High and Las Animas sports.
HS - Emma Russell: Emma was a wonderful representative of HECTOR while on the FFA National Convention trip. She
has been optimistic in staying on top of her tasks while gone and came back ready to implement what she learned.
Staff - My nomination for Hector of the week is Ann Marfil. Mrs. Marfil has displayed her dedication to LASD in a
number of ways and always steps up to the plate. She cares about the success of the students and assists them in reaching
their potential. Mrs Marfil supports teachers as well as students to the best of her ability.
