Positive Office Referral: Zack Birmingham (12th)
Zack is helping at least 2 CR kids on their Geometry/Algebra. He is always willing to tutor other students to make sure they are successful.
Positive Office Referral: Hannah and Madelynn Turner (12th)
Hannah is always helping students whenever she can. Her kindness toward faculty and staff is always noted. (Mrs. Southerland)
Madelynn's kindness toward her classmates and faculty goes unnoticed. (Mrs. Southerland)
Positive Office Refferal: Kevin McCutchen (10th)
Kevin always acts as a good example when the rest of the class starts to slip behavior wise. He helps me by modeling good behavior and encouraging the kids to get back on task. (Mr. Rawls)
Kevin has been very helpful in the classroom and has been happy to assist with chores about the room. He helps tidy up the textbooks in the bookcase and ties up trash bags for the hall receptacles. It is noticed and appreciated that Kevin has offered his help without hesitation. He has also made a marked effort to be attentive to the lesson and contribute in positive ways to the classroom discussion. (Mrs. Hutson)
Positive Office Referral: Brock McCarthy (12th)
Brock is really good to demonstrate that he is actively working to meet the learning objective in economics. He uses his notes and classwork to support his answers in discussion and in doing so, I know he has done the work I asked him to do. I also want to commend Brock for helping another student in the classroom who was lost on a task. Brock left his desk to offer help, getting this student to the correct page in the textbook and he also took a few seconds to guide this student toward the information needed to complete the assigned task. He did so quietly and without distraction to others and without drawing undo attention to the struggling student. (Mrs. Treca Hutson)
