This week, we spotlight our ninth-grade student, Uono. He joined ISR in 2019 and has truly blossomed in his first year in the ISR Upper School. Ms. Jordanova, our Academic Coordinator for Grades 9–10 says: “Uono is exceptionally talented in art, demonstrating creativity and dedication in equal measure. Not only does he excel in his artistic pursuits, but he also maintains a strong commitment to his academic responsibilities.” Ms. Jordanova also praises Uono’s caring personality: “Uono’s respectful attitude towards his classmates further illustrates his character, making him a valued and respected member of his community. His ability to harmonize his passions and duties, all while fostering a positive environment, truly sets him apart.”

Uono’s former Mathematics teacher, Mr. Nisic, also comments on his commitment to developing his academic abilities: “As Uono’s previous teacher, I can say that Uono’s been progressing in math, facing every challenge head-on. It’s been a journey with him, that changed him and all of us a lot.”

Uono’s dynamic character is highlighted by his commitment to his favorite sport. His Sports teacher, Mr. Nous, says: “Uono doesn’t go anywhere without his basketball, so sport is always on his mind.” Uono is a student of many interests who can truly benefit from the opportunities and support he experiences at ISR.

This week we celebrate Uono and his dedication to furthering his academic and creative goals. We look forward to seeing what he will accomplish in the future and are happy to have him as part of our Student Community.

We are very proud to spotlight Uono, one of ISR’s many outstanding students.
