2011 Winner - Nicoletta Appleton

Nicoletta has numerous strengths and abilities. She is a very caring and kind individual who leads by example. Nicoletta has made an enormous impact on the school community. Her involvement and contributions to Westwood high school performing arts program by assuming several lead roles has assisted in the growth and popularity of musical theatre.

Ms. Appleton, as evident by her actions, is looked upon as a “student champion” of social justice initiatives. In her four years at Westwood, whether in the role of student council member or as a young adult who simply believes in helping others, Nicoletta can be counted upon to offer assistance to those in need. Evidence of her compassion assumed many forms such as the United Way Youth Day of Caring, church volunteer, sandbagging, Fair Trade committee, student council, 30 hour famine, Winnipeg Harvest food drives, etc.

She is a young lady who demonstrates a clear understanding of the “Big Picture” and is to be commended for having the belief and passion for acting on what is right with regards to social justice.

2010 Winner - Daniel Oberton

My name is Daniel Oberton.  I graduated from St. Paul's High School in June of 2010 with honours.  I'm presently in my first year at the University of Manitoba taking mostly Science courses. I hope to pursue a career in the medical field.

A major extra-curricular activity I've been involved in is chess.  I was St. Paul's High School's chess champion for four consecutive years.  I have won several provincial titles and have been part of the Manitoba provincial chess team.  I have also competed at the national level.

I have been involved in many community activities both inside and outside of the Italian community.  I have volunteered for several years at the Holy Rosary Church.  I helped when the church had social functions for the catechism classes and their families.  I have also volunteered at the Misericordia Hospital where I was a recreation supervisor for the residence of the hospital.

I would like to thank the Lupa Di Roma for presenting me with their scholarship. It was both an honour and privilege to receive this scholarship.
