Karissa Moss, Vice President of Grade Six, has much to smile about. Recently she was chosen as the Most Outstanding Primary Student at Kingsway Academy. Consequently, she was nominated for the Bahamas Primary School Student of the Year Award. This competition, that will take place in May, will feature nominees from all of the Primary Schools throughout the Bahamas. The objective is to bring together brilliant, respectful and talented Primary students who are involved with the building of their community, then select one of them for the prestigious award.

Karissa, a Prefect, possesses those intrinsic qualities that have propelled her to this high honor. In addition to being very polite, intelligent and courteous, she is also very brave. If you will recall, she was the dynamic Mistress of Ceremonies at the 2007 Grade Six Graduation. As an aspiring flute and keyboard player, she plays in a local band; sings in the Children's choir at her church; has had leading roles in the school's Drama Productions; was the voice that was heard heralding the many features of our Fiesta's, in addition to be the announcer for the Children's radio broadcast of Jesus the Light of the World that is heard on ZNS Radio. Karissa has also performed Community Service at Adventure Learning Centre and the Golden Age Retirement Home, and has represented Kingsway at the World Aids Day Assembly at St. Andrews. She has also had the distinct privilege of living in England for a few years and has had the opportunity, along with her parents, to visit many European countries.

Notwithstanding the above, which are just a few of her accomplishments, Karissa has been able to maintain a high accumulative GPA of 3.87 and has remained on the Honor Roll every term.

The Kingsway Academy Family congratulates Karissa on her achievements and wishes her continued success in all of her endeavors.
