October 21, 2024
Elhiana M.
Downsview, for the week of October 21st, your Student of the Week is Elhiana M.
Elhiana is in the eleventh grade at Downsview.
Well-known to staff and Students at Downsview as a quiet, but powerful force, a do-er, Elhiana is a worthy recipient of this award. This represents her second win, and this is not a surprise. Let's hear from her nominators. First, from Ms Sonia: “This young lady is amazing . She has been volunteering in the garden and art club for the last three years. She is always willing to do any task given to her and takes pride in everything she does. I feel very lucky to be able to work with this young lady.”
And from Dr Syal: “I have had the pleasure of teaching Elhiana for the past two years. She is reticent but completes her work and helps her peers with theirs. She is also part of the robotics team. She takes a leadership role as a negotiator or surveyor. She is the glue that keeps the team together. Downsview is blessed to have a student like Elhiana. I wish her the best of luck with her future endeavours.”
Hear this, from Ms Lee: “Since grade nine, Elhiana has actively contributed to the TRC and Sisterhood groups, demonstrating a commitment to fostering connections and supporting others. Her positive attitude and dedication make a significant impact on our school environment. Elhiana is a creative and intelligent student who truly understands the meaning of genuine friendship and the importance of building community. Congratulations and keep up the great work, Elhiana.”
Ms Lam adds: “Elhiana is a conscientious and dedicated student who is focused on the lesson at hand and completes assignments and works responsibly during class time. Elhiana is also a student who is involved in school activities including the Robotic Club. Continue the excellent work, Elhiana and Congratulations for earning Student of the Week”
Ms de Jersey says: “A couple of days ago, Elhiana, along with her peers, Walked for the Bot. She took part in our annual 13km fundraising walk for the amazing Downsview Robotics Team. As always, Elhiana was a star. Cheerful, fun, never complaining - she is known for these qualities. At lunch, as Elhiana had some fun managing a wee robot, I was reminded of Elhiana’s curiosity. Her interest in learning runs deep, draws others in and will serve her well. Elhiana, the TRC, Robotics Team, Garden Club, Yearbook Committee and Downsview as a whole are lucky to have you.”
Elhiana, you remind us all of the power and value of involvement. You bring vitality and dignity to the teams you’re involved with. Thank you, Elhiana, and congratulations on your win as Student of the Week.
