Mia Cartella (Ferrara/Speis)  

Mia Cartella truly shines brightly in our classroom each and every day! She has grown so much in her confidence already this year, and it’s been such a joy to watch her believe in herself and her abilities. Mia’s kindness and positive attitude make her a wonderful friend and classmate — she is always ready to lend a helping hand with a smile, making our classroom a warm and welcoming place for everyone. Along with her caring heart, Mia stands out for her incredible work ethic and determination. She puts forth her best effort in everything she does, stays organized, and never gives up, even when something feels challenging. We are so lucky to have Mia’s kindness, confidence, and hard work lighting up our classroom family each day. She is a truly deserving Stellar Comet!

Tristan Fauntleroy (DeLorenzo)

Tristan is a beam of sunshine who always arrives with the biggest smile; he's the first to help a classmate, quietly cleans up after everyone else, and the colorful drawings he leaves on my desk never fail to put a huge smile on my face. He is a hard worker who always puts forth his best effort and always raises his hand to every question I ask. I am lucky to have him in my class. Keep up the good work Tristan!

Katherine Hansbury (Kline/Gentleman) 

Kate is a shining star in our classroom.  She is a hard worker who always works to her full potential.   Kate is always willing to help her classmates and teachers.  She participates in all areas, and is a confident puppy ambassador.  We love seeing Kate each day, with a smile on her face ready to work.  She is an advocate for herself.  She works well with her classmates, and is a great friend to others.  Kate is kind, caring, organized, and always wanting to learn more.  We are so proud of all of Kate’s growth and hard work this year!  Congratulations, Kate!  Keep up the amazing work!

Dane Crichlow (Healey) Dane is the epitome of a humble hero — the kind of student whose impact is felt more than it is seen. He's not looking for the spotlight; instead, his amazing qualities shine through in his daily actions. You can count on him to always do the right thing, whether it's following directions quickly the first time or sticking to classroom procedures, never needing a reminder. His hardworking nature is coupled with genuine kindness: he's patient with his peers, always ready to quietly lend a hand, and he celebrates everyone else's wins without ever seeking praise for himself. He's consistently a respectful and reliable presence, setting a good example for everyone around him. Congratulations Dane and keep being the awesome example you are! 

Carla Steedle (MacGuigan/Rivera)

Carla is the PERFECT classmate and student, which is what made it very easy to pick her to be our Stellar Comet this month!  Carla is an exemplary student; she works hard, participates in class, and is always there to help a classmate in need.  She works well with others and independently.  She has a smile and a personality that can light up a room and instantly lets others know that she is kind, caring, and open to helping anyone in need.  No one deserves to be a Stellar Comet, more!  Congrats, Carla!  We are so proud of you.  Keep being you and you will change the world!

Baylor McCue (Poulson/Cheadle)

Baylor has made a great transition into fifth grade! He comes to class prepared and ready to learn each day. He is willing to work with anyone to help all in our class as needed. Baylor is a bright light in our class providing positivity and kindness. We are so happy and proud to have Baylor as Stellar Comet! Keep up the amazing work, Baylor!
