Michael was chosen as Kindergarten student of the month. His teacher, Mrs. Erickson says, “I chose Michael as Student of the Month for September because he is such a positive, caring student. He cares about his classmates, and is willing to help out anyone in need. He puts a lot of effort into learning and neatly completing his work. He also follows the directions right away, and is always seen raising his hand to answer or ask a question. I am so proud of you, Michael! Keep on being a shining star in our class!”
MIchael’s favorite part of school is gym and playing games with Mr. Kemper. He also likes playing with the firefighter toys at playtime. At home, Michael likes to play with his aunt. They play with lions and color together. Michael likes to go stay at hotels with his family and swim there.
Michael, you are a fun and bright leader at our school! Keep it up!
Please remember there is NO PARKING ON 113.
