This Braddock Eagle started her Elementary School journey at Braddock Elementary in the Kindergarten Spanish Immersion program and has continued to be a part of this program currently in her fifth-grade year. Her second grade Spanish Immersion teacher highly recommended that she participate in the XSTREAM Afterschool program. This student is one of very few Braddock Elementary students who started participating in the XSTREAM Program that is usually starts with Third Grade. She has always been and continues to be eager and excited to learn and understands the importance of being an active member in her community.   

 

Since second grade, she has participated in almost ALL XSTREAM Programs ( 8 ) as well as chosen to participate in numerous presentation opportunities. Two of the first years of her XSTREAM Programs participation was online due to Covid 19. She was highly recommended to become a Student Leadership Academy Ambassador from third - fifth grade and has also joined the Math Olympiad and member of the school Chorus and Instrumental Music Programs. She has also been a Presenter, two years straight, with the Global Schools Classroom presentation projects. This Braddock Eagle is truly a "Well Rounded" student who cares about others and happy to help wherever she is needed. She is a Braddock Eagle who "SOARS HIGH" when it comes to her love of learning in a Computer Science/STEAM Education environment. We Congratulate this outstanding Braddock Eagle for receiving the Annandale Rotary Club Award!
