Mr. Mitchell’s Class
Khabri Yussuf is an awesome student! He is bright, hardworking, neat, and responsible. He is a model student to have in class. This stems from his academic abilities and his love of learning. Khabri comes to school each day ready to soak up and use everything he learns in a positive way. In fact, he is constantly smiling and enjoying the great privilege he, and all students at CBS have: being part of a caring, supportive, safe, and knowledgeable community. Khabri shows his appreciation and love of school by doing his best work consistently and working with others so cooperatively. He is a joy to have in class. Khabri is a deserving and wonderful choice for this month's Student of the Month. Way to go, Khabri! Keep up the incredible work and keep smiling!
Ms. Kiley takes the time to know her students well, both academically and as people. She celebrates the differences in her class and meets every child where they are to ensure growth for all learners. Her in-depth understanding of each student is evident in her communications to administration and to parents. Her instruction includes motivating activities to support learning and a love of learning. Keep shining, Mrs. Kiley!
