Being named Student of the Month is a distinguished honor that goes beyond academic success; it acknowledges the recipient as a role model and a genuinely good person. It celebrates their kindness, compassion, and integrity, traits that shine through in their interactions with peers and teachers alike. This recognition not only highlights their academic achievements but also their positive impact on the school community.

Kaia Kantor is an incredible 14-year-old. She has excelled at the Einstein School, and for the 2024-25 school year she will be part of the inaugural Wildcat Collegiate Academy at Vines High School. Kaia is an avid horseback rider and competes on the horseback riding drill team. It's a lot of time and dedication, but she's driven and passionate. To pay her way, Kaia works at the stables and helps with camps.

Most importantly, Kaia has an incredibly generous heart. She is a tremendous help to her family and two little sisters. First thing in the morning, she always asks, "What can I do to help?" Kaia’s outlook on life is beyond her years, and she cares deeply about how she can make the world a better place.

Ultimately, being named Student of the Month underscores the importance of character and values in addition to academic excellence, inspiring others to follow in their footsteps of both achievement and integrity.
