Malte Colliander, son of Carl and Ulrica Colliander, has been selected as the Winter High School Student of the Month for January 2024!
Malte is a senior foreign exchange student who is spending the 2023-2024 school year at Winter High School. He is from Sollentuna, Sweden, which is near Stockholm. It’s a bigger town so rural life is a bit of a change! His host family is the Granicas, including Mike, Sarah, Kaydance, Gracie and Ryan.
In addition to his performing well in his studies, Malte is excelling at sports while here at Winter! So far he has participated in football (which is of course different from the football [soccer] where he comes from!) and basketball. According to Mr. Jack Delabar, the district’s physical education teacher, “Malte is always punctual and willing to give anything a try, even if he has never heard of or played a game before. He is kind and always inclusive to the whole class.”
Mrs. Alicia Lueloff, the district’s business education teacher, describes Malte as, “such a positive and respectful student. He always comes to class ready to learn. He gives unique insights in Personal Finance class with having the ability to compare it to Sweden. He is always pleasant, except when he is DOMINATING at Monopoly. Malte has definitely earned Student of the Month with his way of always making others laugh on the daily with his breath of fresh air in the classroom.”
Congratulations to Malte for earning Student of the Month for January 2024!
