For band, I did not realize that the stand racks and percussion equipment were still in the classroom and not on stage because of the Spotlight conflict before break. In a rush, I was trying to set up and Nicholas was there early. He saw another student helping me and jumped in right away to assist as well. He helped move both stand racks out of the classroom and into the GP room. He also helped move percussion equipment, chairs, and music stands. I am so grateful for his help and kindness!

For band, I did not realize that the stand racks and percussion equipment were still in the classroom and not on stage because of the Spotlight conflict before break. In a rush before practice, I was trying to set up and Mark was there early. He jumped right in without hesitation and moved both stand racks out of the classroom and into the GP room. He also helped move percussion equipment, chairs, and music stands. I was incredibly grateful for his kindness and assistance! I did not even ask, he just said, "I'll help you!" His model behavior even influenced the second student who arrived to help as well.

During Book Reunion Day, she showed such kindness, leadership and inclusiveness in the way she supported a new student. She was so thoughtful to include him, consistently checked in to be sure he felt comfortable and encouraged him to participate. She also invited a friend to join her group during turn and share, making sure no one felt left out. Her actions truly reflected empathy, inclusivity, and strong character.

Showed kindness to her classmates. Has been another students biggest supporter. Offers help, a pencil, her spot on the rug or a kind word to classmates.

Always so kind and helpful to her peers when they are having a hard time following along with the class.

A cooperative and kind third grader, who I can always count on to be following class rules. She always helps her classmates during group work and with class jobs. She is always focused on lessons and completes her work with pride.

Helping another boy in the class pack up and zipper his jacket the past week!

Goes out of his way to support a classmate by encouraging him to make positive choices, offering gentle reminders, and helping him complete his classwork. His actions have a meaningful and positive influence on this classmate.

As a secretary walked up the steps, making her way to the school entrance, he opened the main door and waited for her to enter the building before going inside himself. It was a day when the temperature outside was 11° and the Real Feel was -5°…and he greeted her with a smile.
