NQHS STUDENTS Giving back to the community
On Friday, October 28, 2016 six North Quincy High School
students (Vanessa Guan, Lizzie DiMattio, Jen Butka, Kelly
Phelan, Lindsay Lee, and Tim Layden) volunteered at a
Special Olympics event held at the Amelio Della Chiesa
Early Childhood Center in Quincy. This event is part of a
series of Special Olympics events done in Quincy and
hosted by Mr. Daniel McHugh, Adaptive Physical Educa-
tion teacher. Dan McHugh said, “The North Quincy High
Peer Facilitators were a great addition to our October
Special Olympics event. It was so much more enjoyable
for the 3 and 4 year old participants to have the high
school students there to encourage and congratulate
them as they successfully traveled between stations.
They really helped to get all the students engaged in the
activities and they truly enjoyed helping out.”

NQHS Student Hero of the Month: CINCERE TARKPOR
“Cincere voluntarily takes students under her wing when she sees they are new or
lacking in social connections. I have a new student who doesn’t know anyone at
NQ and was out the first 2 weeks of school. Cincere reached out to her and sug-
gested she become the girl’s mentor. Just one example of her kindness and posi-
tive attitude. There are many more.” NQ Staff
member about Cincere.
