Spotlight On Our Student Valentina
This week, we are proud to spotlight our second grader, Valentina, who joined ISR in 2024. She was warmly nominated for the Student Spotlight by her homeroom teacher, Ms. Hartmann, who shares:
“Valentina joined ISR last year and has been a dedicated, hardworking learner. She begins each school day with a big smile and a positive attitude. Every day, she gives her best. Whenever Valentina encounters a difficulty, she tries even harder. She truly embodies our ISR guiding principle: ‘We enable great minds and strong characters.’ I can’t wait to see her thrive this school year.”
Valentina also made a lasting impression on her first-grade teacher, Mr. Noomen, who recalls:
“Valentina joined ISR late last year, which was a big challenge, as she suddenly found herself in a school where almost all lessons are taught in English. Despite these adjustments, she came to school each day in a very good mood. She always tried her best during lessons and was self-reflective in every subject. It was a pleasure to work with her.”
Her English teacher, Ms. Barba, supports these impressions, adding:
“Valentina is hardworking, kind, and always willing to help others. She truly embodies our ISR motto: ‘It’s Cool to be Good’, and it has been amazing having her in my lessons.”
Finally, Ms. Vrem, the Academic Coordinator for Kindergarten and Grade 1, shares:
“Valentina is a bright-eyed, hardworking student who is always positive in her interactions with peers and teachers.”
We are proud to spotlight Valentina as one of ISR’s many outstanding students!
The ISR Student Spotlight Project aims to highlight one of our students from the ISR-Community every Friday, who embodies our guiding principle “We Enable Great Minds and Strong Characters” by consistently surpassing themselves. Whether through outstanding academic achievements, exceptional dedication, or remarkable character traits – we take pride in having already showcased hundreds of students – and there is more to look forward to every week!
