Nerd of the Week 

October 12-16, 2026

Our Nerd of The Week for week 9 is fittingly FROM our bowl of 9th graders, Miss Yatziry! As a 9th grader, transitioning into high school coursework can be a challenge, but Yatziry has not fallen behind a single time. She consistently turns in exceptional quality assignments and blows us away with her independence. We love that she always pushes herself to problem-solve on her own first, while still showing the maturity to self-advocate and connect with the CCVA staff when she needs support. Her work ethic is truly top-tier! It has also been wonderful learning about her passions outside of school. Hearing about her travel softball journey and her big dreams to play at the college and AUSL levels is incredibly inspiring. With her career goals to become a travel nurse, specializing in the NICU—and her sweet plan to take her parents on trips with her—We have absolutely no doubt she will achieve everything she sets her mind to. Congrats, Yatziry!
