Today we celebrated 2nd Grade Leaders of the Month. Congratulations to the following students. We are so proud of you!

Silas Bronson is a great speaker and very confident! I appreciate his willingness to volunteer in class discussions, and he knows a lot of interesting facts he enjoys sharing with others.

ZayTavion Maxwell is always willing to speak up and use his voice for what is right. He is a great kid and I have really enjoyed having him in my classroom!

Nellie Bollinger has really found her voice this year! She contributes thoughtful ideas during discussions and asks meaningful questions. I am proud of Nellie speaking up and sharing her ideas with others.

Keira Farris may be soft-spoken, but her voice is heard loud and clear through her actions every single day. Habit 8 reminds us that finding your voice isn't just about what you say — it's about living out your unique gifts in a way that inspires others, and Keira does exactly that.

Without ever being asked, Keira is the first to help a classmate find the right page, quietly explain directions to someone who is unsure, or offer a kind word to a friend who needs one. She leads by example -- by showing up for the people around her with patience, empathy, and a generous heart.

Keira's voice is her example, and it speaks volumes. She makes our classroom a kinder, more supportive place just by being herself. That is what true leadership looks like, and that is why Keira is our Leader of the Week! Great job Keira!
