Congratulations to Payton Cole, our third grade Kindness Award recipient! Her teacher shared, “Payton is a great example of kindness to everyone in the class. Her classmate whom she sits next to at any given time is given help as they need it in any subject matter that we are studying. Just this past week she was working with her partner to help them understand a math concept they were struggling with so that they could more fully understand. She is willing to reach out to others and make them feel included in her circle of friends. She does this all with a smile for every person in the classroom. There are none who are exempt." Great job, Payton!
Congratulations to Ruby George, our second grade Kindness Award recipient! Her teacher shared, “Ruby George is an amazing example of kindness. She is always looking for ways to help others and checking in to make sure everyone is okay. Her caring nature makes her a true friend to everyone around her." You are amazing Molly!” Great job, Ruby!
Congratulations to Molly Hondel, our first grade Kindness Award recipient! Her teacher shared, “Molly loves complimenting her classmates and calling them her best friends. She helps put equipment away at recess, helps find things that people have lost, and jumps to help when someone spills or drops their materials. When her teacher tells her "have a good lunch," she gives her a big hug and says, "you have a good lunch too!" You are amazing Molly!” Great job, Molly!
Congratulations to Lydia Ceniceros, our Kindness Award recipient! Her teacher shared, “Lydia shows kindness by reaching out to her friends during class time and recess to hold hands or give hugs. She looks at her friends, smiles, and is very gentle. Lydia is kind to others!” Great job, Lydia!
