PLYMOUTH, MA…

As an incoming freshman, it can be difficult to stand out at a school the size of Plymouth South. In spite of the challenge of being the new kids on the block, 26 Plymouth South freshman have managed to distinguish themselves quite early in their high school careers, achieving a perfect attendance record and making the honor roll for the first term. For that, they were recently honored as winners of the Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s Driven Student of the Month Award.

“Freshmen have a lot of adjustments to make when entering high school, including a heavier homework load. The best way to absorb all the new things they are learning is to be here and study. This group of kids has done that,” said Marc Loranger, assistant vice principal and director of Plymouth South’s freshman academy.  “What makes their accomplishment even more special is that these are the only students in the entire school—including upper classmen—who made honor roll and had perfect attendance.”

For being chosen as the Driven Students of the Month, the group received a pizza party courtesy of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac.

“Perfect attendance for more than a quarter is a noteworthy accomplishment on its own. To couple that with making the honor roll, that’s really impressive,” said Joe Wilkerson, general sales manager at Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. “In selecting Driven Students, we look for kids who are going above and beyond inside and outside the classroom. These students have shown themselves to be very worthy recipients of our Driven Student Award.”

Students selected for the Driven Student Award include: James Addison, Andrew Armenio, Alexandra Birch, Emily Cannon, Tyler Chiocchio, Robert Colbert, Sydni Dabkowski, Sarah Donlan, Caroline Elrick, Samuel Ferreira, Laura Francis, Alyssa Goyette, Cameron Hunter, Shannon Lyons, Andrew Mahoney, Emily Manson, Kevin McManus, Nicole Mullally, Eileen Murphy, Elizabeth O’keefe, Jabon Rooney, Emily Spillane, Allysia Tavekelian and David Trombly.

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s Driven Student program recognizes Plymouth high school students for their performance and achievements in and out of the classroom. Awarded on a monthly basis, recipients are selected by faculty and advisors at the student’s given school.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

It’s unlikely too many high school freshmen are familiar with Woody Allen’s famous expression about “80 percent of success is showing up”. Yet for 17 Plymouth South High School freshmen who have yet to miss a day of school, they clearly got the memo. And for their perfect attendance record in the 2012-13 school year, they are the deserving winners of the Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s Driven Student of the Month Award.

“The transition from middle school to high school can be quite difficult. In many ways, it’s like you’re starting all over after spending a year in eighth grade as the oldest in the school,” said Marc Loranger, assistant vice principal and director of Plymouth South’s freshman academy. “The kids we honored today with the Tracy Driven Student Award are an example for their peers in that the best way to make the transition to high school is to simply be here every day.”

For being chosen as the Driven Students of the Month, the group received a pizza party courtesy of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. In addition to pizza and refreshments, each student also received a Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac drink koozie.

“As somebody who hires and manages people, one of the key attributes we look for is dependability,” said Joe Wilkerson, general sales manager at Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. “These students have shown early on in their high school careers that they understand that just showing up every day is a big deal and that will serve them well in school and in the work force. They are very worthy recipients of our Driven Student Award.”

Students selected for the Driven Student Award include: Andrew Baier, Andrew Bastoni, Heather Brzykoy, Mackenzie Callanan, Quinn Carey, Edward Coombes, Eileen Coughlin, Victoria Delph, Nathan Dupes, Kayle Forgette, Richard Gast, Jr., Brendan Johnson, Spencer Mazzola, Colin Moran, Teagan Ponte, Adrian Rigatuso and Michael Shea.

Safe driving by the numbers…Plymouth Safe Driving campaign applauds young drivers for improved safe driving statistics.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

Over the past few years, the lay of the land has changed for young drivers—increased driver’s education requirements, stricter rules for new drivers (e.g. six months before being allowed to drive non-family members) and stiffer fines for speeding and other violations. The end result has been a dramatic decline in teen driving fatalities and traffic violations—a fact applauded by the Plymouth Safe Driving Campaign.

“We raised the bar for young drivers in Massachusetts and it’s encouraging that they have risen to the challenge,” said Bruce King, owner of King Collision Centers, who along with the Plymouth Public Schools, Plymouth Police Department and Commerce Insurance has sponsored the Plymouth Safe Driving campaign (www.plymouthsafedriving.org).

Since 2006, when the new laws when into effect, the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles reports the number of speeding tickets issued new teen drivers has dropped by nearly 60 percent. Citations for seat-belt violations, passenger restrictions, and other offenses have fallen at a similar rate. Most importantly, the number of fatalities for drivers under 18 during that time has dropped 75 percent, including five out of the last six months ending without a fatal accident involving a driver under 18.

“The numbers don’t lie, the new laws and tougher requirements are working,” said Gary Maestas, superintendent of Plymouth Public Schools. “Yet even though we’re seeing tremendous improvement, reinforcing the safe driving message through vehicles like the Plymouth Safe Driving campaign is key to continuing this trend.”

The Plymouth Safe Driving campaign is a multi-pronged effort to promoting safe driving habits for Plymouth North and Plymouth South high schools. Part of the campaign included a student-parent contract in which young drivers sign an actual contract with their parents agreeing to safe driving practices. School students who turn in a signed contract to their principal at either Plymouth North or South high school were entered into a drawing for In Control’s Crash Prevention Training course (a $350 value).

Another component of the Plymouth Safe Driving campaign has been the donation of a 2005 Mazda 6 by Commerce Insurance to the Technical Studies program at Plymouth South. Auto repair students have been fixing up the crashed vehicle and a drawing to win the car will take place on May 26. Tickets are $10 a piece and are available at both Plymouth South High School and at Plymouth North High School’s school stores. Students under the age of 18 must be licensed drivers in order to purchase a ticket.

In addition, tickets are also available at NAPA Manomet Auto Supply, 21 Robert J. Way in Plymouth, King Collision Centers, 48 Holman Road in Plymouth, and at South Side Cruise Night, to be held every Wednesday night in May at Plymouth South High School (May 5, May 12, May 19 and May 26). The winner will be drawn on May 26 at the South Side Cruise Night at Plymouth South.

Proceeds from the sale of the vehicle will go back into SkillsUSA, the non-profit funding source for the technical studies program at both Plymouth North and Plymouth South High School.

Driven to help others…Plymouth North students win Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac Driven Student Award for “Adopt a Platoon” program and “Literacy Leaders” efforts.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

In the two years since its inception, the Tracy Chevrolet Driven Student program has honored a number of Plymouth high school students for excelling inside and outside the classroom. This month’s honorees, members of Maggie Madden’s Literature class, are being recognized for their efforts as students and as teachers.

As students, the group participated in a “Share Literacy” program, which involves interaction with Life Skills students. In addition to helping them with their reading skills, Mrs. Madden’s students helped the Life Skills perform an abbreviated version of Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever been more proud of a group of students,” said Mrs. Madden. “The Life Skills students had a lot of fun in putting on the play but I think our students received the real gift. They had a chance to step outside their comfort zone and do something for others and that’s truly a gift.”

In addition to working with the Life Skills students, Mrs. Madden’s class initiated a school-wide “Adopt a Platoon” program. The initial intent of the program was for PNHS students to send letters to soldiers overseas. This class, however, took it a step further, adopting a specific soldier, Matthew Randall, a graduate of Plymouth South High School and son of Plymouth North custodian Dan Randall.

Presently stationed in South Korea and serving as a physician’s assistant, PFC Randall recently visited the class on Friday, March 26.  On that same day, Mrs. Madden’s class was recognized as the Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac Driven Students of the Month award.

In recognition of their work with the Life Skills students and the Adopt a Platoon program, the students were treated to a pizza party, courtesy of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac Service Manager Rick McGue delivered the pizzas to the students and teachers attending the party.

Students taking part in mentoring the Life Skills students and the Adopt-a-Platoon program include: Adam Benedict, James Bradley, Alexander Dearn, Amber Desrosier, Dani Diaz, Deirdre Hill, Thomas Kane, Mike Khederian, Christopher Rose, Chris Schaefer and Ryan Shea.  In addition to their teacher, Mrs. Madden, these students rely on the aide of Alida Nickerson, Adjustment Counselor, and Tanya Little, Student Support Specialist.

“With our Driven Student Award, we make the effort to recognize students who may not get the credit deserved but our doing things worthy of recognition,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. “By adopting PFC Randall and taking the Life Skills students under their wing, these students are most deserving of the Driven Student of the Month award.

Tomorrow’s mechanics train on today’s technology…Plymouth South students receive hybrid training at Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

Hybrid technology is no longer the wave of the future but the present for many automobile owners. Yet with most hybrids having five-year warranties, it’s unlikely that Plymouth South students taking auto repair as part of the school’s technical studies program will have the opportunity to work on a hybrid at school anytime soon. That’s why Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac, in an effort to expose tomorrow’s mechanics to today’s newest technology, held a special training session on hybrid technology for 14 auto repair students.

“For our kids who want to be auto mechanics, hybrid technology is what they’re going to need to know pretty much from Day One of their careers,” said Peter Gellar, automotive instructor at Plymouth South. “Getting an opportunity to see that technology up close and having access to Tracy’s technicians gives them a taste of what they can expect down the road.”

Rick McGue, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac service manager, led the training session. That included looking under the hood of Cadillac Escalade hybrid and Chevy Tahoe hybrid. Tracy Service Technician Steve Rasch also answered questions in between servicing the Escalade.

“When we sell somebody an automobile, it’s not a transaction but the beginning of a relationship. Our service technicians are integral part in the success or failure of that relationship,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. “By having the kids visit the dealership, we’re hopefully doing more than showing them a new technology but demonstrating the critical role they can play in our industry.”

Taking part in the training were: Paul Bruggeman, Steven Cannucci, Nicholas Casella, Michael Crawford, Charles Holmes, Copley Lovell, Devin McGuire, Donald McAulay, Ryan Mulvey, Thomas Moore, Jimmy McMahon and Tim Dodge.

In addition to the training session, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac also sponsors the Driven Student program, which recognizes Plymouth high school students for their performance and achievements in and out of the classroom. Awarded on a monthly basis, recipients are selected by faculty and advisors at the student’s given school.

A “crash” course in safe driving…King Collision Centers and Commerce Insurance partner with Plymouth Schools and Plymouth Police to promote safe driving for teens.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

As the owner of King Collision Center, Bruce King has seen the end result of many crashes involving young drivers. It’s a trend that’s escalated in recent years with the advent of cell phones and texting. That’s why King Collision has partnered with Commerce Insurance and Plymouth Public Schools and Plymouth Police Department on a safe driving campaign for Plymouth high school students.

To kick off the campaign, King Collision, with the help of Commerce Insurance, placed a smashed car on Long Pond Road as a reminder to all drivers of what can happen when you’re not focused on the road.

“We’ve got an epidemic out there with all drivers but particularly those new to driving. There’s too much speed and too many distractions and it’s a recipe for disaster,” said King. “We developed the Plymouth Safe Driving campaign to try and get the message out to young drivers that the only crash courses they should be taking are in school.”

In addition to the smashed car, which will appear at high traffic areas throughout Plymouth, the campaign also offers safe driving tips via its Web site, www.plymouthsafedriving.org. The site includes a contract for young drivers and their parents. The contract acts as the young driver’s pledge to drive responsibly.

Plymouth high school students who turn in a signed contract to their principal at either Plymouth North or South high school will be entered into a drawing for In Control’s Crash Prevention Training course (a $350 value!).  In addition to the winner, everyone who signs a contract and submits it to their respective principal is eligible to take the In Control Crash Prevention course at a 10 percent discount (see www.plymouthsafedriving.org for details). Not only does taking part in this course provide young drivers invaluable training, but it can also earn them or their parents a discount on auto insurance.

“We hope that students and parents take advantage of this great opportunity to get the training needed to create safer young drivers, which benefits us all,” said Gary Maestas, Plymouth Public Schools Superintendent.

The Plymouth Safe Driving campaign will be an ongoing effort to educate young drivers. For updates on latest events and activities related to this program and additional safety information, please periodically visit www.plymouthsafedriving.org.

Tracy Driven Student award goes South…Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac recognizes Plymouth South freshmen.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

For the past two years, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac has honored local high school students for their accomplishments inside and outside the classroom with the monthly Driven Student award. This year’s award program kicked off at Plymouth South High School, with Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac throwing a pizza party for 20 freshman students selected by their teachers for their positive performance both inside and outside the classroom.

Among those treated the students to a pizza party, include: Melissa Connolly, Brittany Reed, Jason Lamb, Haley Garvey, Sean Dowling, Greg Peters, Andrew Wells, Maddie Braz, Ally Booth, Ashley Meyer, Melanie Hawes, Sydney Quirk, Robbie Cheetham, Nick Trainor, Shelby Arnold, Rebecca Laudermilk, Tim West, Sydney Stetler, Yannis Rigas and Kyle Nickerson.

“In the years we’ve been doing the Driven Student award, it’s the freshmen that continue to amaze me. It’s not easy to transition to a new school, especially one the size of Plymouth South. It says quite a bit about these young men and women that their teachers felt them worthy of the Driven Student award,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac.

In addition to the pizza party, students also received Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac drink koozies for being selected Driven Student of the Month for October.

“We can’t thank Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac enough for recognizing the efforts of these students,” said A.J. Butters, Freshman Academy House Master. “It’s great to see students getting recognized publicly for all their hard work and dedication. These 20 freshmen have made a positive impact on Plymouth South High School in their first few months.”

Plymouth South Student Council members win Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s “Driven Student” award for February.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

 

 

Not every student has the drive it takes to run for political office. Particularly when that office cuts into homework, afternoon and evening jobs and activities, down time and even sleep. For their commitment to their classmates, their school and the community in which they live, Plymouth South’s Student Council members received Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac “Driven Student” award for the month of February.

 

To help celebrate this accomplishment, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac treated several members of the Plymouth South High School Student Council to a pizza party. Those taking part included: Danielle Ketterer, Jessica Chandler, Hillary O’Rourke, Monica Joyce, Amanda Tanis, Patty Manning, Ashley Grylls, Rachel Simmons, Krissy Harris, Brianna Maiuri, Melanie Dorn, Haley Holmes, Emily Richard, Jackie Davies, Lauren Hoar, Jill Carter, Adam McGarry, Brian Kessel and Colin McGinnis.

 

“Members of our Student Council do a lot more than just attend meetings,”said Ann Wolf, faculty adviser to the Student Council. “Beyond representing their fellow students at Plymouth School Committee, they serve on screening committees, present leadership workshops at the regional and state level, annually participate in the Walk for Hunger and this year are collecting children’s books as part of the State’s literacy project.”

 

Adds Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac President Jeff Tracy, “Being a high school student is tough enough without adding anything else to your plate. The Student Council members gladly give up their time to not only represent their fellow students, but make their school and community a better place. For that, they are most deserving of this month’s ‘Driven Student’ award.”

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac recognizes Plymouth South freshmen.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

Last school year, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac honored local high school students for their accomplishments inside and outside the classroom with the monthly Driven Student award. This year’s award program kicked off at Plymouth South High School, with Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac throwing a pizza party for sixteen freshman students selected by their teachers for already showing they’ve got it this early in their high school careers.

Among those treated the students to a pizza party, include: Kayla Callanan, Austin Vico, Bri Corsini, Dan Brandt, Sam Gedutis, Josh Desantis, Emily Richard, Nick Monti, Maura Flaherty, Kenna Andrews, Josh Nelson, Chris Cummings, Bhavjit Thiara, Santiago Narino, Jessica Hawker and Liz Embree.

“Being a freshman in high school is not an easy thing. New school, new teachers and the sheer size of the school can be overwhelming. It says something about these students that they have been able to make the transition successfully and that their teachers felt them worthy of the Driven Student award,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac.

In addition to the pizza party, students also received Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac hats and shirts. Rick McGue, Tracy’s service manager, held an impromptu trivia session in which students also earned prizes.

“We can’t thank Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac enough for their generosity towards these students. As educators, we try to give recognition as much as possible but it probably doesn’t happen as much as it should. We appreciate Tracy’s Driven Student program because it’s a nice reminder for teachers to take a closer look at the good work our students are doing,” said A.J. Butters, Freshman Academy House Master.
