Hailey E.
Downsview, for the week of September 23rd, your Student of the Week is Hailey E.
Hailey is in the twelfth grade; this is her graduating year.
Selecting the first Student of the Week for the school year is no easy task, but it is a delightful task. This student needs to check all the boxes: positive attitude, leadership, collegiality, involvement. Hailey? Check.
Let’s hear from Hailey’s many fans at Downsview. First, from Mr Acosta: "Congratulations on this momentous achievement! It is well deserved for the merit you have shown around Downsview in making this school a warm welcoming environment.”
Ms Khan adds: “I’d like to recognize Ms. Hailey as a student who embodies hard work and dedication. This individual approaches every task with enthusiasm and never hesitates to ask questions when things get tough. Her commitment shows us that success comes from putting in the hours and determination. Beyond her academics, she inspires those around her with her positive attitude and willingness to collaborate whether it be in student council or out on the volleyball court. Let’s celebrate this outstanding student for their hard work and the example she sets!”
Mr Henriques says: “Hailey is always in a positive mindset and is a great asset to the Downsview community. Hailey is always willing to lend a helping hand and has a bright future ahead.” And, hear this from Ms Persaud: “Through hallway and library interactions, Hailey has always been a cheerful and kind student. It is only recently that I've had the pleasure of having her as a student in my class. In a short time, she has already proven to be determined and conscientious. I look forward to our semester Hailey; I know you will do great things! Congratulations on your recognition as Student of the Week!”
And from Ms Lee: “It was a pleasure getting to know Hailey in class last year. She is a strong leader who shows resilience, integrity, and is committed to doing her best. I admire the way she faces challenges with a positive attitude and encourages others to share their ideas. Stepping into the building for her 12th year, I already see her flourishing. Way to go, Hailey! Keep up the great work.” From Mr Syal: “I had the pleasure of teaching Hailey, grade 9 science three years ago. She left quite an impression on me. She is a confident and determined young lady. I know she wants to be a teacher in the future. I offered her my job, but she declined. I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavours. You will make an excellent teacher.”
Mr Hum has this to say: “Hailey is a very friendly person who is always willing to help others. This doesn’t stop with friends. Hailey will help any one in need, whether it’s helping a student find a class or just dragging a friend to class on time. She is always willing to go above and beyond with a big smile on her face. Hailey, continue to be the positive, cheerful person that you are. We all appreciate it here at Downsview.”
Ms de Jersey asserts that Hailey is a “go-to person when a student new to Downsview needs a tour. Kindness is a deep-running river in Hailey and it couples beautifully with her ability to quickly read people and read situations. How lucky are we, at Downsview, to have Hailey? Extremely.”
Ms Silvana says: “Congratulations on this amazing recognition. Hailey has always been positive, always smiling and helpful. Hailey has been always willing to support school wide initiatives that create a warm, safe supportive school culture. Hailey, I am so thrilled you are getting recognized and thanks for being you and helping to make Downsview better.”
