College Place Middle School eighth-grader Marco Bejarano was recognized earlier this month by Noticias Univision Seattle, a regional Spanish TV station, for his accomplishments and achievements.
This newly created recognition features one student each week from around the region. Bejarno was nominated by teacher Jan Maxson for a number of reasons, including his persistence and determination to learn English when his family first arrived here. Marco is now a successful student in the classroom and is involved in a number of programs, including as co-president of the student council, a member of the school’s wind ensemble, and an athlete in both football and wrestling.
