The Citrus Heights Chamber’s Education Committee honored Jullianna Pingul, 8th grade student at Sylvan Middle School in Citrus Heights, as the October 2016 Student of the Month. The award was presented at the Chamber’s October 11, 2016, luncheon held at the North Ridge Country Club in Fair Oaks.
Jullianna is Sylvan’s Student Body President. She is in all honors classes and our high school level math class. She has straight As and is an outstanding student. She is in Sylvan’s Ambassador Program and is a true leader on campus, and she volunteers at the Folsom Zoo each year. Her favorite subject is math and it comes very easy to her. She wants to be an architect or a doctor. She loves Sylvan’s STEAM focus because it helps prepare her for college. After high school Jullianna wants to attend Stanford or UC Berkley. She is Bilingual and is fluent in Tagalog.
When Jullianna is not in school she loves to spend time with her family outdoors. She likes to camp, hike and go to the lake. She is helping Sylvan start a Track Team and is part of our Running Club. Her teachers say she is responsible and collaborative. Her friends say she is a good friend with a great sense of humor. Sylvan is very lucky to have Jullianna leading our student body.
