He shows great leadership qualities, always setting an example in his classes.

Olivia Miller is kind, respectful, responsible, and hard working. She has worked incredibly hard this year to meet her academic goals and uses the supports provided to help her learn as much as she can. She participates and asks great questions to make sure she can complete her best work. Additionally, she is someone you can always count on in the classroom to take a risk and volunteer during whole group discussions, stay on task during partner work time while assisting her peers with the work tasks, and is incredibly helpful to any adult who may be unfamiliar with our classroom. Bonus, she does it all with a positive attitude, and a smile on her face! Great job Olivia!
