Junie Blaise '24

Junie Blaise ’24

Middle School math teacher Gyanesh Sharma taught Junie Blaise ’24 in Math 7A. “Junie is a bright and smart student who goes beyond just academics.” Sharma said. “She was willing to help other students who were struggling without asking and would stay behind and help me put the books back after school. Most importantly, she is a student who is a prime example of growth mindset. When she didn’t do well on a test, she chose to come to me for extra help and work through the problems. Students like Junie are rare. She truly embodies what an ideal Poly student should be and continues to make us proud.”
