Melania Nixon is described as confident and well-spoken, and according to Lyford Cay International School (LCIS) officials, the seventh-grade student stands out when she enters a room. They say even though she may not be as tall as some of her classmates, her personality and enthusiasm more than make up for it. Nixon joined LCIS in Fall 2019, as the second scholar to benefit from a $1.5 million donation by the Peter N. Thomson Family Trust to the LCIS Endowment for Scholarships and Financial Aid. The first scholar was Heather Williams, who is now in 11th grade. Nixon, a well-rounded student, is not only an able academic but a skilled artist, musician and athlete, according to O’Neil Bain, marketing and communications director at LCIS. She was the 2019 first runner-up in the Primary School Student of the Year competition. And she is also community-minded, having established her own charity organization to support homes for the elderly, and has an entrepreneurial spirit, managing her own lip gloss business.
