March 2001
Union School There is a student in our school
that is very kind and on top of that is a leader of other
students. During the month of February many students had
gathered after school in an area that was off limits.
Instead of allowing his fellow students to get in trouble
he went to them and reminded them to move on so that they
would not be in violation of the school's policy. Sea View
School Teresa is our new "kindness"
honoree. Teresa is a nice, kind, polite and caring
person. She helps a student in our class with special
needs. She makes sure he is safe and she likes to help
him with some of his work. Teresa always treats her
friends with respect.
VG hails from El
Salvador. She is smart, well behaved and always
cooperative in class. Whenever a child has to visit the
nurse, she is only too happy to accompany them. I can
always depend on VG to help with jobs or a sick child.
Because she is so sweet, it is only natural that she gave
me a delicious cupcake from her dad's bakery and a
beautiful card on Valentine's Day. She's my valentine
anytime! Xinia Sampson is this month's
recipient for the Random Act of Kindness Award. She is a
very hard working student who always puts her best foot
forward. Whenever I need help, Xinia is there to help me
out. Not only is she an aid to me, but also if someone
wants or needs her she will always help them out. Class
3-208 is lucky to have such a goodhearted person as Xinia
Sampson. My honoree this month is
Tershone Phillips. Tershone is a very special child! She can
always be counted on to do the right thing and help out
whenever there is the need. Tershone's reputation is known
by many. When teachers need a reliable helper they come and
ask if she can help them. Not only does Tershone help; she
doesn't miss a beat with her schoolwork. She always manages
to do it all. She is an excellent student and a wonderful
person. In my eyes Tershone is an award winner every
month! St. Kevin School My honorees for March are Wesley Neal,
Cole Riley, Kelcie Blackwell, and Erica McWilliams. They all
do their best work, are courteous, and help others in need.
They are a delight to have in the classroom. Carrollton School of the Sacred
Heart Wilson Middle/High
School The student that I would like to
nominate is Carly. Carly is a junior, and in the fall of
2000, one of her best friends was in a terrible car
accident. In order to show her support for her friend, she
organized a community quilt project. She was able to collect
88 squares from people in the school and the community, and
the result was a beautiful quilt that her friend used as she
recovered.

all of her classmates and teachers. She is always asking
to be a helper around the classroom. She helps her
classmates when they are having difficulty. She helps
pass out papers and clean the room. Michelle has nothing
but kind and encouraging words to share. She shares her
snacks as well. Michelle is easy to get along with and

Sarah is a kindergarten child in Mrs. Klineís
morning class. When Caitlin, a new student, moved into
our class, Sarah realized that Caitlin didn't have a
Valentine cardholder like everyone else. Sarah went home
and made her a special Valentine cardholder to welcome
Caitlin so that she would not feel left out. Sarah also
made our new student a beaded bracelet with her name on
it which was an added surprise inside of the
cardholder.
Sarah, a student in the first grade, gave Mrs. Condon a
big pink flamingo for Christmas. Aniqua, another first
grader, loved that flamingo. Aniqua is moving to a new
school and a new town. Mrs. Condon tried to find another
pink flamingo for Aniqua. Sarah told Mrs. Condon it was
OK to give Aniqua the flamingo and Aniqua was so happy!
It was so kind of Sarah.

is Christian. He was having some trouble with Math on
Thursday, but by Friday he understood it well. Friday was
Domenic's day to have trouble with fractions so Christian
started to work with him on his mistakes. Before you knew
it, there was a little group of kids helping Domenic.
Caring is contagious!

the qualities that teachers look for in a child. She is
disciplined, mature, well mannered and very responsible.
