A huge shout-out to our 6 Excellent Explorer winners for this past term. They are super students and just great kids all the way around! They were each nominated by a staff member or fellow student and then voted on by our committee. Thank you, students, for a great job!
Eli Wills-6th grade (Nominated 2 times)
This year during some peer tutoring experiences, Eli has had such a positive impact on the students he is working with. He goes out of his way to make a connection with the students he is helping and he makes learning new things fun for them. His outgoing personality and kindness is remarkable! He truly has helped those students, not only with their schoolwork, but they know they have a friend who will cheer them on in whatever they do.
Mrs. Stewart Eli Wills is exceptional at working with others. He is a great leader and really cares about everyone. He is great to include others and makes adapt to the situation to help others feel wanted. He has been a great tutor and is always positive and encouraging. Mrs. Taylor
Jaxon Jensen-2nd grade (Nominated 3 times)
Jaxon always has a smile on his face and a kind word to say to everyone. Last week one of his friends had hurt his back and was unable to play on the playground. Jaxon was concerned for his friend and asked me for help. The friend decided he was just going to sit on the Buddy Bench, so Jaxon said, "I will sit here with him. I don't want my friend to be alone." Jaxon is always kind. He cares about everyone. Mrs. LindstromJaxon is always happy and positive. He works hard in class and is a good friend Jaxon is so positive. He always wishes us a good day. He comes down for headaches and is just so pleasant, and wants to make sure everyone is happy. What a sweet boy.
Nathan Burtenshaw-2nd grade (Nominated 2 times)
Nathan is an excellent explorer for many reasons. He is constantly seeing the good in others. He is the first to befriend someone that doesn't have anyone to play with and invites them to join in his games. He listens and shows respect to me in the classroom. Whenever we are using the Chromebooks, he jumps up and helps his peers that are struggling. He is compassionate and caring. He really works at things that he doesn't understand and is willing to work hard to improve them. He goes above and beyond in reading and always gets his homework completed. He always participates in lessons which helps him learn and grow as a student. He is a great student, a great person, and I feel lucky to have him as a student! Miss Linnell. Nathan is kind and showing respect by not running in the playground and is kind by listing to his teacher. By: Tristan Allen.
Brandon Bodmer-6th grade
Brandon is one of the most honest kids I have ever met. He is the definition of integrity. He always makes sure he is being fair and honest. He is great to help. He is always thinking of others. Mrs. Taylor
Leah Massimini-4th grade
Leah is an amazing Fourth Grader. She exemplifies outstanding behavior and friendship qualities at school. She is a wonderful writer, friend to others, and student. Leah always sets a great example for those around her. Thanks for being a student teachers can count on at school for being kind, showing respect, and working hard! Mr. Rigby
Konnley Peterson-5th grade
I would like to nominate Konnley Peterson in 5th grade. I believe Konnley continues to show exceptional behavior both in class and outside of classroom activities. He is always the first to get up and do a job he was not responsible for. He is always kind to each and every one of his peers and helps them be successful in any way he can. Mrs Whetten
