This week's Keep the Quote winner is 3rd grader, Bentley Benson!
Bentley is always helping someone out whether it is reminding them to do something, showing them how to do something, or just being that person that wants everyone to be content. He does this in a caring manner that doesn't offend the people he's trying to help. He doesn't expect anything in return; he's just helping to make sure everything is running like a well-oiled machine!
Last week's Keep the Quote winner was 6th grader, Adan Arroyo!
Adan is always willing to help a teacher or student in need. He always has a positive attitude, a smile, and is a really great kid to have in class! He has spent a lot of time recently helping a fellow classmate with a paper and is truly a remarkable friend. His patience and kindness do not go unnoticed!
