Live Like Elora Scholarship 2026


The Elora J. Khan Foundation is honored to announce the recipient of the 2026 Live Like Elora Scholarship Award, an award established to recognize a Saint Anastasia student who reflects the faith, kindness, joy, courage, and love that defined Elora's life.
It is with great joy that we recognize Gianna Concannon.
In the nominations submitted, Gianna is consistently described as a bright light within the Saint Anastasia community. Her teachers shared that she approaches each day with faith, humility, compassion, and a genuine concern for others. She is known for welcoming classmates, encouraging those around her, and helping others feel seen, included, and valued. Gianna's faith is not simply something she believes. It is something she lives. In the way she prays, serves quietly, and cares deeply for others, she reflects a rare understanding that greatness is found not in recognition, but in love. Her devotion to God is evident in both her words and actions, from the prayers and poems she writes to the intentions, drawings, and messages she leaves in Elora's Way. Gianna's life is a reminder that faith is not measured by words alone, but by the love we share, the people we uplift, and the light we bring into the world around us. Her faith-filled example inspires our Saint Anastasia community and reminds us that even the smallest acts of love can
leave a lasting impact.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 5:16
