Student of the Week: Maria Lazarou, Grade 5

Student of the Week

Each week of summer, MEK Review teachers nominate a student to be awarded Student of the Week. This student is chosen due to his or her amazing performance, inspiring improvement, or great attitude in our Summer courses.

For Week 6, our teachers nominated Maria Lazarou from our MLC Writing 5 class!

“Maria Lazarou has been a dedicated MEK student who returned this summer for MLC Writing 5. She has received a 5/5 on her expository essay, which is the highest score possible on the writing rubric. Also, she has received two 4/5 on another expository essay as well as the first persuasive essay of the summer. It is a pleasure to have her in class as she always comes with a positive attitude, and she loves to participate.”

~Alexandra Ortea, MLC Writing 5

Let’s learn a little bit more about our Student of the Week:

What do you like about your MEK classes so far?

I like how MEK has made me use critical and creative thinking to express my thoughts.

What have you learned so far?

I have learned how to improve my writing using proper grammar, detailed sentences, and transition words in order to make my writing flow.

What is your favorite subject in school?

I’ve always enjoyed writing class because I can use my imagination to create beautiful pieces.

What activities do you like to do outside of MEK and school?

When I’m not in MEK, I enjoy swimming, hanging out with my friends, and dancing at my dance studio.

Way to go, Maria!

We’re so proud of our hardworking Student of the Week. We can’t wait to see what you’ll accomplish next!
