Kamden Martello – Mountain Meadow

Kam is a fifth grader at Mt. Meadow Elementary School who truly stands out as a leader in our school community. He sets a positive example not only for his classmates, but also for his third-grade reading buddy, showing patience, encouragement, and responsibility every day. He has truly made a difference! Kam is liked by everyone because he consistently does the right thing, treats others with kindness, and is always willing to lend a helping hand. As an active member of our school’s leadership committee, he shows dedication and a strong commitment to making our school a better place. He took an active role in our school wide food drive and was a great motivator within the school. With his warm smile, friendly nature, and caring heart, Kam is a wonderful role model and an amazing friend to all. We appreciate all he has done for Mt. Meadow.

Rylie Thiele – Wilkeson elementary

Rylie works hard in class and is someone I can always rely on to be a positive role model for others. While she may be quiet, her actions clearly show her character, kindness, and dedication. I am very proud of Rylie and the effort she puts into her learning and our classroom community every day.

Kathleen Noon – Foothills Elementary

Kathleen is a 4th grader in Mrs. Hansen’s class. Kate is a leader and hard worker. She truly exemplifies what a hard working and kind human looks like. She is everyone’s friend and other’s look to her as an example because she is always making a positive choice. She is the first to offer help or volunteer. It’s an honor to get to celebrate her!
