Richfield Whiz Kid of the Week: Stephen Tidjani

Richfield Whiz Kid of the Week: Stephen Tidjani

• Grade 10
• (RHS)
• Accomplishment: Stephen Tidjani placed ninth in the country in the French 3C division at the National French Contest.
• Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness: Tidjani is new to Richfield this year. His family is from Nigeria and speaks both Yoruba and Ewe, but he lived and went to school in Togo for several years before coming here, learning a lot of French in school. He was placed in a special category for kids who have lived in French speaking countries.

"This is a tremendous accomplishment," said Margaret Laboe, RHS French teacher. "It could not have happened to a nicer, more hardworking young man."
