Every year, the OCDSB Student Recognition Awards celebrate students who have demonstrated initiative, the will to succeed, the dedication to finish what they started, and the commitment to achieve their personal best. Congratulations to Sami El Sayed, who is one of this year’s Student Recognition Award recipients!
Sami reflects all that is great about Woodroffe High School. Academically, Sami is a dedicated and thoughtful student who achieves high marks and shows a collegial, collaborative attitude in class. He is a curious learner who explores ideas by measuring his thoughts and ideas against those of his classmates.
Sami has worked very hard to balance traditional academics with artistic and creative pursuits. During his time at Woodroffe, the school’s bands were made better by his participation and positive attitude. Always looking to push himself and test boundaries, Sami made the leap into musical theatre as a senior student and shone in the spotlight.
Sami's strong character and positive attitude make him an exemplary role model and worthy of recognition. Sami treats everyone with respect and dignity, making the Woodroffe community better as a result.
