The first Delaware Student of the Week comes from Archmere Academy

School principals and other educators sent in nominations, while readers handled the rest. So in this first round, who is our Delaware Student of the Week?
That’s Daniel Qi, of Archmere Academy. The “exceptional violinist” snagged nearly 70% of the vote in this round.
This junior has already performed with symphony orchestras, and he serves as first violinist for the Helena Raskob Arts Institute String Ensemble, according to his nominator. Daniel was awarded the first chair, while also serving as concertmaster, when chosen to perform with the Delaware All-State Orchestra.

Come back for next week’s poll, set to launch on Monday morning. Educators can still make additional submissions until next week.
