Winstead Elementary - Namrata Ghare

Teachers at Winstead Elementary School describe fifth grader Namrata Ghare as an eager learner who knows that hard work is the key to success. Combine those qualities with her cheerful personality and it's easy to see why she was recently selected as the school's Academic All-Star for the 2013-14 school year.

"Namrata is relentless about her education," said Winstead Principal Kathy Wells. "She comes to school each day eager to learn. She has been an absolute joy to have in this school."

Although she is excited to start middle school in the fall, Namrata says her experience at Winstead has been amazing. "Everyone here is just so friendly," said Namrata. "The teachers are great. They talk to everybody and not just one person."

Namrata's two favorite subjects are math and social studies. "I like math because our teacher makes it really fun," said Namrata. "I like social studies because we get to work with partners a lot."

Outside of school, Namrata likes to spend time reading, especially the Harry Potter books. While she's not sure what she wants to be when she grows up, Namrata knows she'll have to keep working hard to reach her goals.

"It's important for me to do well in school so that I can have a good future when I grow up."
