This sixth grader possesses all the pillars of good character, plus our Cardinal Code of Respect-Responsibility- and Safety. His classmates say that he is always trustworthy, helpful, and kind and does what he is suppose to do! He was nominated every month this year for the Kid of Character Award. He is a great role model for all of us to follow – so let’s congratulate……Alex Miller!!!

The student I am nominating for my Kid of Character always shows the Cardinal Code while in PE class. She does her personal best on classroom activities. She also is respectful of others and her surroundings. Great job in physical education class this year Bailey Davis!

Elaja has shown glimmers of great potential all year long. He has blown me away at times with how considerate and respectful he can be. The last few weeks, when others are giving up for the year, Elaja has put the pedal to the metal and is giving everything his best effort. Though we haven’t always seen eye to eye, I have always known that he had it in himself to be great. I encourage and challenge this young man to stay on the right track and make something great with his life.

Cael has demonstrated many times over the course of this year that he is a young man who believes in doing the right thing. I have seen him frustrated only twice this year and when this has happened he walked away from the situation and came back to talk about it when he was calm. That is a sign of a very respectful and responsible person.

Cael is a good sportsman. In the face of victory or defeat whether his opponent is a difficult math problem or on a wrestling mat, he does his best and I can always see the wheels turning in his head showing he is thinking of the best solution and what makes sense. That’s a sing of responsibility.

Cael is a good kid and being safe is a priority to him. If a situation is not safe he THINKS it through and finds a result that is safe and fair. That is a sign of someone who is caring.

Cael has shown brightly this year and his efforts show CARDINAL PRIDE through and through
