Greenbrier senior named most helpful Tennessean Student of the Week

Valentina Urias has a knack for making people feel comfortable.

The Greenbrier senior ended up with more than 8,000 votes, or 50% of the total, in The Tennessean’s Student of the Week poll honoring the most helpful upperclassmen.

Urias was nominated by Coach Kris Thomas.

"I have seen on the field and at school how helpful she is," Thomas said. "(Valentina) Urias helped a lot of my freshman with where to go first day and during the open house. She set things up and was present and just makes everyone feel uplifted everyday with a positive attitude. She's a great kid
