Alex was chosen for student of the month. His teacher, Mrs. Bement says, “I am choosing Alex as student of the month because of his work ethic. He always does what is expected of him, with no complaints, and has made great gains throughout this school year! I can always trust that Alex will come into the classroom each morning, ready to learn, and get right to his assignments. If Alex needs help on something, I appreciate the fact that he raises his hand to ask for help, as he truly wants to know the correct way to work out his assignments. On top of all of this, Alex is truly a sweet, kind-hearted boy who is a friend to all. I can partner him up with any other student to work on an assignment and I know the work will get done. I appreciate his kindness and I know it will take him far in life!”
Alex’s favorite part of school is playing semi trucks with his friends at recess. In the classroom, he likes when his teacher reads Magic Tree House books to the class. Alex likes to drive 4 wheeler, at home. He also likes to play Xbox. His favorite food is spaghetti. Alex likes to do magic tricks and can pull a rope from his hand. Another cool trick he can do is wheelies on his 4 wheeler. He says to “give it the beans” to pop a wheelie!
Awesome work, Alex!! You are a pretty cool kid!
Miah was chosen for student of the month. Her teacher, Mrs. Moore says, “Miah radiates positivity in our classroom! She is always smiling, encouraging others, and is excited about learning!

Paizlee is a great friend to anyone and naturally makes sure that everyone is included in each activity. She is a model of PRIDE in our classroom and encourages others to show PRIDE by her example. She works hard and puts her best effort into every assignment and challenge that she faces. Paizlee has a huge heart and I am so lucky to have her in my class this year! I am proud of you, Paizlee! Keep up the great work!”
