Kyston is a hard working young man who is always willing to lend a helping hand to those around him. He chooses to be a bucket filler by treating others with respect, helping fellow students at lunch and greeting everyone with a smile.
MIDDLE
Aleah Appleman
8th Grade
Aleah is one of the most hardworking and caring students in class. She always has a smile on her face when she comes into my classroom. She has really grown as a student over the last year and is more confident in herself. She is always willing to help others when they need it. She is a great student, and it is a pleasure to have her in class.
HIGH SCHOOL
Hayley Cheesman
12th Grade
Haley Cheesman is always a delight to have in class. She has a smile that can light up a room and is always considerate of others. One of the best things about Haley is that she is not afraid to ask questions if she needs assistance with anything in class. I will miss her when she graduates this year!
