Citizenship Award Winner—Nick Robinson

October 27th, 2022

Nick Robinson was a Grade 12 student at Vista Virtual School in 2021-22.

Nick started his fitness journey at a central Alberta Dojo. When the business began to struggle as a result of the pandemic, Nick volunteered to teach classes to help keep the business afloat. Here he was able to support others in their fitness journey, regardless of their age or skill level. In teaching others, he saw the importance of being kind, patient and how a little encouragement can go a long way.

Nick quickly showed the owners his dependability, taking on additional responsibilities at the Dojo, such as extra classes or cleaning. Whenever he was needed, he was there, all while completing his schoolwork and working part-time at the local museum.

Nick has been described as a delight to work with and to have in class, cheerful, polite and a great communicator.

The School Board is pleased to present Nick with the Citizenship Award in recognition of the positive contributions he makes in his community and school. Congratulations!
