Alia V. (Grade 10) A Star of Our Own
Alia had quite the surprise this past week when it was announced at the Vancouver ISTAR Ceremony that she was the winner of the Youth Leadership & Community Service Award. Held across Canada, the ISTAR program is designed by the Aga Khan Education Board of Canada to motivate and inspire Ismaili Muslim youth to strive for and achieve excellence. Alia gives of her time generously. At her Mosque, she is a Team Leader, working with and guiding the Junior Leaders to run their regular events. Within her community, she also teaches Bollywood dance.
The ISTAR program is designed by the Aga Khan Education Board of Canada to motivate and inspire Ismaili Muslim youth to strive for and achieve excellence. Here at Meadowridge, Alia is just as busy helping others. She brought together a group of students to form the “Sandwich Club,� which makes and distributes sandwiches for the Salvation Army. The Junior Service Gryphons are now working to make this a regular part of their club. As part of her school-related service, she also spends Mondays with local seniors at Greystone Manor. Congratulations, Alia, on winning this prestigious award, and thank you for all you do for those around you! - Ms. Carolyn Sapach, Advancement
