Student of the Week
November 25, 2024
Saige B.
Downsview, for the week of November 25th, your Student of the Week is Saige B.
Saige is in the eleventh grade at Downsview.
Saige is in her second year at Downsview, and this is her second win. If the fine patterns that Saige has established maintain, you’ll likely hear about her here again. The excellence she has achieved in the classroom is echoed outside the classroom. In short, Saige knows how to be a student; she knows how to “do” high school.
Let’s hear from her nominators, first, Mr Lam: “I have had the privilege of teaching Saige for the past two years in mathematics. Saige is a conscientious student who strives to achieve success and participates actively in math discussions and submits assignments on time. Saige is respectful in class and often discusses math concepts with other students to foster a positive learning environment. Saige is actively engaged in a variety of school activities including sports clubs and Black Brilliance. Saige has excellent athletic prowess and strives to balance academic success with athletic achievements. Well done Saige and congratulations on winning Student of the Week!”
Mr Girdler has this to say: “Although she is still only in grade 10, Saige was one of the most valuable players on this year's senior girls basketball team. More importantly, Saige never missed a practice. She's an outstanding student and a high performance track and field athlete. I am praying that her Mom will let her play on the varsity girls outdoor soccer team!”
Ms Silvana adds: “Saige, congratulations on this well deserved recognition, you are behind so many initiatives whether it's volunteering to support school wide initiatives and clubs or being a part of athletic teams; you are phenomenal! Saige we are lucky to have you! Keep showing us and the TDSB the brilliance you have! Goooo Saige!”
From Ms Stephenson: “Saige always has a positive attitude towards learning. She is always focused, organized and completes her classwork on time. She is a role model for her peers and always leads by example. Saige is supportive and helpful towards her peers and is appreciated for the kind of person she is.”
Mr Henriques finishes the praise with this: “Saige is a dedicated student and a top-notch athlete. Saige’s determined demeanour and competitive spirit have been amazing throughout her time at Downsview. A kind and friendly student, Saige personifies the very best aspects of what a student athlete should be. Saige’s star will continue to shine brightly here at Downsview.”
Saige, you heard it here. Your mature and thoughtful manner, and the work that you do to better yourself as a classroom learner and as an athlete are recognized here. It is a pleasure to honour you with the title: Student of the Week.
