Victoria Faieta

Fifth Grade, Mater Beach Academy

Victoria is a lovely student who just 2 years ago transferred schools. Recently she approached her teacher to report concern for a classmate’s safety. That classmate had confided in Victoria regarding a dangerous situation at home. Even though it meant disclosing her friend’s secret and potentially betraying their trust, she knew she had to speak up and tell someone to make sure her friend was safe. Thanks to Victoria’s strength and bravery, the appropriate authorities were contacted and the student was able to receive assistance. Victoria exemplified care, what it means to be a true friend.
