Manor Student Spotlight!
Our staff spotted 17 students exemplifying Wildcat expectations throughout the month of September. Help us in congratulating their achievement!
Isabelle Wade: Isabelle is a soft-spoken, hard-working student. She is kind to everyone she sits around, is engaged and completes her work on time. She is involved in both band and choir. She is polite and encouraging to her friends and all classmates. She is amazing!
Abi Hershey: She was spotted peer-editing her desk-mate's personal narrative for no personal gain. She also consistently picks up the chairs that other students forget to put on top of desks. She does this silently and often without any recognition.
Alyssa Madura: She took time out of her recess to help another student who was hurt on the playground.
TJ Graves: Being an awesome listener during reading :)
Isaac Gilles: Isaac sits at a table in his classroom with 3 other students and he shows so much kindness to these 3 students as well as to other students in the class. When the students at his table return to class from an intervention, Isaac gets them caught up to what they are doing in our class. He also works to help the students at his table with any questions they have. Isaac is helpful, responsible, kind, and cooperative.
Teagan Perhay: Teagan is always ready to learn in class. She participates and has the materials needed for every task. She cares about what she does and will appropriately ask in cases she is unsure about.
Kayla Howell: This student is a great friend who is always willing to share and go beyond for a classmate. She is the definition of a role model that every teacher wants in their classroom. She is an extremely hard worker, always participating, wants to be challenged, seeks for more work when done, follows directions the first time, as well as being a leader in the classroom. Other students tend to look at her doing what is right and follow her footsteps. Kayla loves to help others work on a task or clean up.
Maya Nielson: Mayah is kind, diligent, and great in focusing on her academics. She models our Wildcat expectations proudly.
Ezekiel (Zeke) Williamson: Zeke shows empathy for classmates and is very helpful to both classmates and staff.
Coltyn Helems: His eagerness to help and his willingness to help others are great examples of the Wildcat way.
Kylie Bowman: She models excellent conduct in class, is helpful to others, and shows genuine concern for others well-being.
Gracie Harper: Gracie is always on task and wanting to be a part of the lesson. She turns in all her work on time and is always wanting to make sure she is doing her best. She is very organized and is always asking how she can help me in the classroom. She gets along with everyone in the class and helps other when they need it. She is always positive and has a smile on her face each day.
Kayden Davis-Siverly: Kayden has had a wonderful attitude about school this year and is always working hard to make sure his work is completed.
Braelynd Anderson: Braelynd is always raising his hand to answer questions in every subject. He is on task and never has missing work. He works well in a group setting and helps other when needed. He always has a positive answer and shows confidence in himself.
Cora Schaub: Cora has done a great job of being at school and of getting her work completed this year.
Isaiah Tillman: Isaiah is kind and always asks me personal questions. He will ask me how the past classes went or how my week was. He will also pick up other people's trash if I ask the class to pick up. He also helps other students on his own accord.
Zack Manuel: Zack demonstrated responsibility and safety by getting paper towels to wipe down a water fountain after someone had spilled water everywhere. Thanks for being so helpful in taking care of our school, Zack!
