This leader was nominated for a Pic with the Principal because he saw a friend in need at recess. They were upset and this leader sat down with them and shared what he does when he is feeling upset to calm himself down. Then he walked them over to the game they wanted to play, and helped them navigate starting the next game. We are so proud of his kind heart!

This 5th grade leader was nominated by Mrs. Ferguson for his kind leadership. He noticed a classmate was new to Perler Beads and wasn't sure what to do. He helped patiently and kindly explain to her the expectations until she felt less nervous! Way to go!
