Each year, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board Student Recognition Awards celebrate excellence in student leadership. Students are chosen by their principals and/or vice-principals for their demonstration of initiative, supported by the will to succeed, the dedication to finish what they started, and the commitment to achieve their personal best. Congratulations to this year’s recipient from Ottawa Technical Secondary School, Lily Macdonald-Some!
Lily Macdonald-Some has consistently demonstrated kindness, compassion, and a willingness to help and support her peers at Ottawa Technical Secondary School. In her studies, Lily seeks out feedback and revises her work, demonstrating a commitment to excellence and resilience. This year, Lily will be completing her SHSM certificate, and she was enrolled in OYAP Level 1 Baking at the French Baker. Lily truly exceeded expectations and was appreciated so much that she was presented with a gift basket, gift certificates, and more at the end! Lily has demonstrated academic diversity by participating in Dual Credit as well, where during her second semester, her co-op placement brought her to the OCDSB’s Innovation & Adolescent Learning (IAL) department. Here, she has helped plan and implement virtual conferences, demonstrating her keen digital fluency. Lily has also made time in her busy schedule to hone her entrepreneurial and creative skills by opening her own small online business. She has truly inspired her peers and teachers with her creativity and work ethic!
