On October 1, the Suffield Rotary honored two Suffield High School seniors at the Suffield Country Club.
Noora Khaled and Nuvia Torrez-Flores
Congratulations to the Rotary Student of the Month for September, Nuvia Torrez-Flores!
Social Studies Teacher, Miss Blais, said, “Nuvia has been a fearless leader for her class for the last several years. She selflessly gives up time for her council, her grade, her friends and other organizations. She is always ready to do work and works to the highest caliber. She has challenged herself through the courses she has chosen, and the activities/events that she has participated in. I can count on her to be inviting, help others and always offer a kind word.”
Social Studies Teacher, Mr. Barile has been, “very impressed with how well rounded a person Nuvia has become at Suffield High School. She chose to challenge herself by taking my UCONN Sociology course the first year that it was offered. She actively participates in class and produces quality work. She is also extremely kind to others and very involved in the school community outside of academics.”
English Teacher, Mrs. Candia-Bovi, noted, “Nuvia approaches every challenge with kindness and a spirit of teamwork. Thoughtful and genuinely supportive of peers, she helps create an inclusive, positive classroom environment and leads by steady example.”
Nuvia’s School Counselor, Mr. St. Amand added, “She is a kind, caring and understanding young adult who truly cares for others!”
Congratulations to the Rotary Student of the Month for October, Noora Khaled!
Social Studies Teacher, Miss Blais, said, “Noora is probably the hardest working student I have ever worked with. She is well-rounded in being a stellar student but also an amazing human. She is a leader in her groups (such as Drama Club, Model UN and Robotics) and organizations- but also in the classroom. I have seen her take many younger students under her wing to teach/train them. On top of being within the top of her class, she is always kind and compassionate. She is open-minded and knows how to challenge others without being condescending. She has a solid balance of academics and work.”
Math Teacher, Miss Pryce, reported, “Noora excelled academically in Honors Precalculus last year, consistently earning high grades that she should be very proud of. However, it is the character that she displayed throughout the school year that I will remember. Noora was kind and welcoming every single day in class. She cared, not only how she did in class, but also wanted the best for those around her. She is a leader in and out of the classroom.”
English Teacher, Mrs. Candia-Bovi, added, “Noora is an insightful and reflective learner whose thoughtful approach inspires those around her. She leads through curiosity, care, and integrity, consistently modeling the character and work ethic we hope to see in all students.”
Way to go, Nuvia and Noora!
