Congratulations to our GR8 Students of the Month for December, Austin Warner and Kaelyn Weisenburger! Austin has been a driving force in our class. As a senior, he understands the role he plays as a leader and has used that to help be a good role model for his peers and underclassmen. He has taken the time to help fellow students and understand their content better. Austin has also helped work through our very robust classroom inventory. I am so glad that Austin decided to attend my class during his senior year. I am thankful we've had the opportunity to work together this year. Kaelyn is a great citizen student. She is a strong example of what it is to be a GR8 Tiger. She is a hard worker in and out of class. Kaelyn supports her classmates and strives to be knowledgeable in music and band. I am confident she is the same student in her core classes as well. Kaelyn was not only helpful in class to myself, but she went over and beyond helping several of her classmates to make great decisions. She has also been very helpful with attitudes in her classroom. Way to go Austin and Kaelyn! We are very proud of you!
