Congratulations to Gianna Smith for being our Oiler of the Week last week. Teachers and staff 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 is what teachers had to say about Lily.
Self-Discipline: Gianna has a strong work ethic and will do her best to complete all her assignments to the best of her ability. She stays focused in class and enjoys working independently.
Responsibility: Gianna always comes to class on time and shows that she is prepared to learn by always having her class materials.
Self-advocacy: Although Gianna prides herself on being an independent learner, she does not hesitate to let her teachers know when she needs help with assignments.
Grit: Gianna is an exceptionally resilient student. She is not one to back down from challenges as they arise.
Growth Mindset: Gianna is always eager to learn how to do and be better. Even when it comes to uncomfortable or challenging tasks, like doing speeches, she will go out and do her best.
