Cody Lefler is a senior at Henry and was selected as the second PHHS Student of the Month for this school year. Lefler was honored during the Grantville/Allied Garden Kiwanis Club meeting last month by vice principal Jennifer Pacofsky.

Lefler was nominated because of his commitment to many facets of the school. He is noted for always having a smile on his face and always being willing to help any staff or student. He spends a lot of time off campus involved with our special needs population. He participates in the Down Syndrome Buddy Walk and supports Exceptional Athletes by cheering on present and past students. He excels in academics including AP classes, sports, and leadership roles on campus. Lefler also participates on the football team, soccer, tennis, Circle of Friends, Link Crew and ASB.

“Cody is one of the nicest kids that I know and he is super respectful and kind,” said one of his teachers.

“Cody is positive, works hard, doesn’t give up in the face of obstacles and brings together the students around him,” said another one of his teachers. “Cody has the perfect mix of attitude and respect. He can make you laugh and also be the one that realizes someone is having a bad day and say a kind word or just be there for his friends. His respect for himself and others makes him a wonderful human being to be around.”
