OUTSTANDING STUDENT CITIZEN AWARD
EMMA MEURICE
ROOSEVELT ELEMENTARY
We are nominating Emma Meurice as Roosevelt Elementary School's
Outstanding Student Citizen. Emma would have been a fifth grader at
Roosevelt this year. She was killed last summer, on June 28, when she was
hit by a car while visiting relatives in Belgium.
When we think of Emma, we remember her as someone who was very
kind and gentle. She was a good citizen because she liked to lead and she was
considerate toward others. Freedom and respect were important to Emma
and her family. She was a classroom representative on Roosevelt's Student
Council. As part of their service learning project, she helped collect food and
supplies for the Iowa City Animal Shelter. Emma showed good
sportsmanship on her soccer and baseball teams. She was a strong athlete but
she played for fun over competition. Emma was an excellent student. She
was smart, creative, and a quick thinker. She liked to be first to answer a
question. Last year she had a reading buddy from the kindergarten class,
sometimes she needed to be very patient but she was always kind. Emma was
also a good musician. She was in four orchestras. She played violin and bass
and liked to work ahead.
Emma was unique and we want to honor her as an outstanding citizen and
friend. She loved Beanie Babies - Happy was her favorite one. She always
had a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eye.
