There once was a hard working kid
Who tried hard at everything he did
He’d raise his hand high
And give it a try
That’s why he’s known as the WHIZ Kid

Shannah has become a role model for her peers. She participates in classroom discussions by asking relevant questions and offering her ideas and insights. She has become a focused learner. It is a delight to see her gaining self confidence as she witnesses her own academic achievements. I am very proud of Shannah and hope that she is proud of herself as well! |
Palvi Maharaj |
| Our sixth grade class wrote a convincing speech as to why they, as a students, should be the next Kid of Character! This person included all the aspects of the Cardinal Code of Behavior – Be Responsible – Be Safe – Be Respect. This sixth grader states that she tries to always be helpful, kind, and nice. She says that she is shy on the inside, but tries to be more open on the outside. She even helps others in the community. One time in the public, she helped an elderly person back into her seat. She also respects other cultures of people. Other students have been helped by her in our school, also. Congratulations on your find display of conduct! You are very convincing by your actions! |

Another outstanding quality of Janna’s is that she is caring and would never hurt anyone’s feelings. That’s a quality that is certainly appreciated by us all.
