St. Thomas Aquinas School
The fourth grade student at St. Thomas Aquinas School chosen
this month is Brooke Baumgartel. Brooke exhibits a
positive attitude at school every day. She is
contantly helping out around the classroom. She always
puts her best effort in everything that she does.
Recently Brooke spent a Saturday morning picking up garbage
and debris at one of our local beaches. I think her
family has influenced and supported her belief in the
benefits of random acts of kindness because her mother
recently offered to show parents and children how to knit
healing shawls for cancer patients. The group meets
once a week. Not only is it important for all of us to
support one another but it is fantastic when a family works
together to make the world better. Our
class voted for Anastasia this month. She's been nice and
helpful to other children in the class. She is always ready
for the next activity. She helped Michaela clean her desk.
She helped Angelika find her spelling letters. She plays
nicely. She tries to play with children who feel left out.
She remembers to say thank you. Steele

Alton R-IV Elementary
School Our
Random Acts of Kindness Student for October is
Dexter. During collaborative and online
activities, Dexter is always cooperative and shares with
others. He is kind and shows great respect to all of
his classmates. We are honored by the
wonderful artistic contributions he lends to each of

drawing of the Mayflower. Congratulations

The
student I would like to honor this month is Manuel, a 6th
grade student at E.O.Green Junior High School in Oxnard,
California. Our classroom gets a student visitor everyday
for about 2 hours a day. That visitor is a special needs
child who needs some assistance through out the time he is
in our classroom. Well, Manuel totally caught me off guard
when he just got upclear across the room and started helping
him finish a classroom project. But, what surprised me the
most was his kind, patient heart. He carefully told him each
step of the way in a very warm way. Because of Manuel's
mannerism, our visitor finished his project with enough time
to start on the classroom activity. I just want to thank him
for his kind gesture and the best part is I didn't even have
to ask him to help he just got up and assisted him. He
witnessed he was having difficulty and did not think twice
to help out a fellow student. Guyton Elementary
School
This month we honor Zachary Rodrigues. Zachary is very
helpful in our classsroom. He always follows the rules and
is very polite to other students and teachers alike.
However, the reason we honor him this month is because of
his work with a special student in our class. Zack is a peer
partner to a special needs student and works very diligently
with him. Zack is patient and kind. He really helps the
class by taking the time to assist others. THANK YOU,
Zack!

Teacher - Grade 3 This
month‚our Random Act of Kindness award goes to
Leslie Thornhill of class 3-204. Since September Leslie
has shown good citizenship by cleaning up the lunchroom
table after his class is done eating. Leslie has never
been asked to do this; he has just taken on the
responsibility so that the next class will have a clean
table.

All the coughing and sneezing around school finally got
to me and I had trouble singing all week long! So this
month we salute fourth grader Jacqueline for taking it
upon herself to sing for me. Not only did she lead all
the songs with her class but she stayed into the next
period to sing with kindergarteners who are first
learning how to sing. Jaqui's talent, enthusiasm and
willingness to lend a voice makes her my monthly
celebrity!

Teacher - computer lab
This month I would like to nominate two students for the
Random Act of Kindness award. Christopher Patacsil and
Kevin Peng are in Mrs. Mondone's 4th grade class. They
have volunteered to be the monitors for the computer lab.
They arrive at school early each day so they can clean
the computers and make sure all the machines are ready
for the first class. They have given up their free time
to make the lab a nicer place for all the classes in the
school. They also brighten up my day with their winning
smiles and cheerful demeanor. Way to go guys!

3 Dakota
is no doubt our most helpful student this month. Dakota
is very concerned with doing his work at school correctly
and then he reaches out to the other students to help
them with their work and tries to help them with their
behavior. He doesn't like to see other children get into
trouble, so he reminds them when they're doing the wrong
thing. He stands up for what he thinks is right. Dakota
is an A+ student when it comes to others!!
