Congratulations to Lilianna Bell for being our Oiler of the Week for 9/11/2023 - 9/15/2023.  Lilianna received the most votes from teachers last week.   Teachers vote for Oilers of the Week by choosing which of their students exemplified each of Whiting High School's five core values (Self-Discipline, Responsibility, Self-Advocacy, GRIT, and Growth Mindset).  Below are what Lilianna's teachers said about her.

Lilianna has outstanding work ethic and participation in my class.

GRIT: Lily chooses to succeed. Simply put.  She will not hesitate to ask questions when she doesn't understand a topic, along with sharing her responses and opinions to questions I ask throughout the duration of the class. 

Growth Mindset: Lily's ability to apply prior knowledge to a new topic is unparalleled.  Every time she answers a question or submits a bell ringer, she pulls content out from lessons days ago to answer the questions.  She exceeds my expectations of participation in my classroom.

Self-Advocacy: Lily never lets distractions get to her.  I can always count on her to be locked in during lectures and activities. The students at her table often will follow her lead.

Responsibility: Lily is never late, never has missing work, and is always prompt with her work.  She cares about her grade and tries to do whatever she needs to maintain her A average.

Self-Discipline: Lily is a student of MANY questions! She does not want to be wrong and does not want to miss any requirements in any activity that she does.  

Lily is a joy to have in my class. Her ability to joke around and get stuff done, all at the right times, makes it such a joy to be her teacher and I look forward to having her for the rest of the year!
