Success Stories
Student of the Week: Maria Lazarou, Grade 5
August 16, 2024
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
Out of over 545 students, Maria was chosen by her teachers to be Student of the Week because of her positive attitude, participation, and her essay writing skills!
