Student of the week is Aja Freyre

Aja Freyre, a first grade student at Raymond Elementary School, is The Windham Eagle’s student of the week. The seven-year-old enjoys ballet and hip hop dancing.

Mrs. Weeks chose Freyre for Student of the Week because she is a student who sets an example of

excellence in behavior and academics. “Aja is a conscientious student who puts her best effort forward in everything she does,” Weeks said. “She is always up for a challenge, shows initiative with her work, and is a great risk taker. Aja is a ray of sunshine and she lights up the classroom with her presence every single day. She has great compassion for others and always puts others first, before herself. She is a team player and her peers feel she is a super-duper friend to play with and who is very helpful when they need help.”

Freyre, whose favorite subject is writing because she thinks it is fun to create stories, believes learning is fun when she has choices. She also enjoys learning with friends.

When Freyre graduates from school, she plans to get a job, a boyfriend and a car.

Freyre lives at home with her Dad (Rafael), Mom (Bree) and brother (Rex.) Although she does not have any pets at this time, she hopes to one day have a dog, a rabbit and a fish.
