Middle School Honoree – Branwen Westover
Branwen is the right mix of studious and lively and serious and fun. She works hard and is very focused in class. She offers great insights during our discussions. I appreciate that she is also helpful to classmates. I have asked her more than once to offer peer support to another learner, and she is very gracious and helpful, which is not always easy! Branwen is also very creative and is in the school musical. She is doing very well balancing the demands of play schedules and schoolwork. Her fun personality shines through in classwork and in activities done in the classroom. She is definitely a bright spot in our group.
