MSBSD Student of the Week

Mila Elkins

5th grade, Willow Elementary

November's weather, remote days, and school closures made for a challenging month for students and teachers alike. Mila not only attended all of her Zoom sessions, but she also completed all of the assignments that were given over the remote days. Her willingness to participate, her excellent classroom behavior and work ethic, and her dedication to completing every assignment to the best of her ability show her love of learning. She rises to meet any learning challenges or overcome any perceived obstacles, and when needed, she is willing to ask for help.

Mila is extremely creative, and it shows in her love of creative writing and in her artistic endeavors. Our weekly vocabulary word has become an ongoing adventure for me to read and for her to share with her classmates. She is involved in many extra school activities and has also participated in several extra curricular opportunities for serving in our community.
