The Student of the Month for November 2022 is Eugene Anekwe, a Grade 12 student at Sandwich Secondary School. Eugene is an outstanding example of this month’s theme, School Spirit.
Eugene is lively, energetic, confident and always tries to involve others in day-to-day school activities. Eugene has been a member of many school clubs including robotics, DECA and yearbook. He enthusiastically supports school activities such as Grade 9 Day and spirit weeks, for which he has won 'Best Costume' two years in a row.
He and his teammates on the track and field team lead the annual “Fill A Cruiser" event to collect groceries for the food bank in LaSalle. Eugene’s spirited nature has created a joyful and more successful team. He says, "If we all helped each other a little more and took a little more time to do good, the world would be such a better place, and no better place to start than in your own local community."
These testimonials attest to how Eugene’s uplifting personality has had a positive impact on the Sandwich community:
