Congratulations to WHMS Student, Sarah Elghannam!

She is this week's Martino Merit Award recipient, presented to her on behalf of WHMS Teacher, Jean Nigel.

"Last year, I got to know Sarah Elghannam as more than a student in one of my math classes.  Sarah and a few friends enjoyed escaping the chaos of the cafeteria by eating lunch in my classroom.  Throughout the year, I noticed how Sarah consistently showed compassion, integrity, and kindness. She has a very confident sense of what is right and wrong and was never afraid to hold true to her beliefs.  She executed this with grace and respect. Sarah is always helpful to other students and encourages them to succeed.

Sarah puts forth 110% effort not only in school but in life in general, and because of this I am nominating her for the Robyn Martino Award." -- Jean Nigel

This award, established by WHMS staff in memory of former Wisconsin Hills principal Robyn Martino (who always put people and relationships first), alternates each week between staff and student. If a student receives it, he/she has a week to nominate a staff member, then the staff member has a week to nominate a student, and so on.
