The 5th/6th Department selected Stephen as Student of the Week (Oct 5-9) for the following reasons:

Stephen is a vibrant young individual, who displays a positive personality, in which others in the class feed off of. He has gained big steps this week by helping a new student in the class, who was in need. In PE class Stephen shows honesty, great effort, and trustworthy qualities. Stephen has also improved his sportsmanship dramatically and does a great job following other game rules. He is enjoyable to be around. KEEP ON ROCKING MR. STEPHEN! ~Mr. Clausius, PE Teacher

Stephen has really stepped up to the plate this year, and he is consistently hitting home runs in all aspects of 5th grade. Academically, Stephen completes his work in a timely and efficient manner, with attention paid to detail and accuracy. With his constant smile, and humorous approach to conversation, he adds a good level of fun to our class. With all that aside, Stephen's biggest accomplishment so far this year has been accepting the responsibility of helping with a new student in our class. Not only has Stephen been a big help with translating and providing direction, but he has also focused on being a welcoming classmate. Great job so far this year Stephen, and thanks for your help! ~Mr. Good, 5th Grade Teacher

Stephan has been outstanding this year and has made great strides in his transition to 5th grade. He has been invaluable in helping new students to feel welcome in our school and has been a true ambassador for UCSD. Great job Stephan and keep up the good work.~ Mr. Wilson, Principal
