This months Grade 9 GRIT winner is Kateryna Kachurova! Kate has, for the most part had to do twice the work than the rest of the students as she works to get more familiar with the English language. Since moving here, Kate has continually been a very hard worker and prioritizes her studies. This month she has also had another student join her class that speaks the same language. She has been helpful in making sure they feel welcome and know what we are doing in class. Way to show resilience and togetherness Kate!
