Rael Colimon

Rael demonstrated exceptional courage and integrity when witnessing two peers stealing from another student. Despite being in a difficult position where intervening could have made her a target, she chose to speak up and clearly told the students that their actions were wrong and instructed them to return the stolen items. When the students ignored her intervention and continued with the theft anyway, she made the responsible decision to report the incident to a trusted adult, ensuring that appropriate action could be taken to address the situation. Rael was brave and despite the potential negative social consequences, chose to protect a fellow classmate instead. Additionally, by reporting to a trusted adult, she ensured that the situation could be properly addressed. Rael exemplifies the kind of responsibility and integrity we hope to see in both students and adults alike.
