Stewart 4J SHOUT OUT!

Meet Mars and Alton!

Mars (left) is one curious 4th grader! His inquisitive mind, thoughtful questions, and enthusiasm for discovering new things make learning more fun for our entire classroom. His curiosity is contagious, and I love the excitement he brings to our learning!

Alton (right) is the kind of classmate every kiddo deserves to have! He is genuinely kind, thoughtful, and leads with an incredible sense of integrity. He consistently chooses to do what's right, even when no one is watching. His character speaks volumes!

These two fellas bring their own special kind of goodness to our classroom! So proud of these fellas!
