Students of the Month

Elementary School

Our primary student of the month: 2nd grader Jackson McPherson. Jackson is an outstanding student for many reasons! He truly is a friend to everyone and tries to help others make good choices.  He's one of the kindest and most sincere students I've ever met. He is determined to do his best. He is very hard working and masters nearly every goal he sets for himself because of his work ethic and determination.

Our intermediate student of the month: 5th grader Jillian Kriech. From the first day she walked into my class two years ago, she has had a wonderful, positive attitude in class.  She never has a negative comment toward peers, but rather offers encouraging comments and support on a regular basis.  She is excited to be in class, and that eagerness and attitude is contagious among her fellow classmates.  She takes her studies very seriously and shows great work ethic and responsibility on a consistent basis.

Congratulations Jacob!
