McKamy Middle School student Aria LaBarbera, teacher Ms. Das, and school were all recognized at the Flower Mound Chamber's monthly luncheon held at the Cross Timbers YMCA in Flower Mound on Tuesday, March 18. 

Student of the Month – Aria LaBarbera
Aria LaBarbera is an 8th grade student at McKamy Middle School, who takes all honors and GT courses. She is the student council co-president, which allows her to serve her school and community. Which service overlaps with Aria’s goals as an NJHS member at large: to accelerate at scholarship, leadership, character, service, and citizenship. Aria’s hopes and effort to make a positive impact all over the school attributes to another one of her clubs: the McKamy principal advisory committee team or MPACT. Through all the clubs she participates in, Aria is very grateful to represent and be Flower Mound Chamber Student of the Month.
