Ella Cohen
Third Grade, Mater Beach Academy
Ella let her hair grow for more than two years so that she could donate it to make wigs for children with cancer. Ella is a determined and persistent student who consistently strives to make honor roll. She was selected as the trustworthiness ambassador for her class, always being counted on to do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Outside of school, Ella enjoys doing karate and hopes to be able to defend others who are unable to defend themselves. She is always concerned about other people’s wellbeing and often will donate goodies she receives to homeless children she sees on the street. Ella has a heart of gold and exemplifies what it means to have compassion for those less fortunate.
