Alyssa was honored this evening by the Northampton Exchange Club as December's Girl Student of the Month. Three other students (November and December honorees) were recognized, as well. Each month during the school year they honor a boy and girl from Northampton High School for their academic and extra-curricular achievements. The November Girl Student of the Month is my best friend Monica's daughter, Rachel.

Each of the families were invited to the dinner program. We all went to support Alyssa, including Nani. It was her first outing since her second surgery. We sat at the table with Joe, Monica and Rachel. There are approximately 503 students in the senior class; how ironic that Alyssa and Rachel were chosen back to back as students of the month. I knew that Rachel was going to be at the dinner, but Monica had no clue until we walked in that Alyssa would be there, as well.
