Congratulations to Rhian Cortez, a third grade student at Donegal Elementary School.
Rhian was nominated by her teacher, Mrs. Buckles.
Mrs. Buckles had this to say about Rhian:
Rhian has shown kindness and empathy towards the students in our classroom. Her thoughtful words and actions have helped more than one of her classmates to feel better about themselves. She has maintained a positive, hard-working attitude. She shows what it takes to be a successful student. Rhian listens well, follows directions, completes work in a timely manner, and participates in class discussions. She is not afraid to volunteer or to seek help when needed. Rhian plays well with the other students and treats the students and adults in our building with respect. Rhian puts forth a strong effort to set a positive example to the class. We are fortunate to have her with us.
