For Randy Duncan, teacher, how does this student’s exemplary behavior illustrate the goals your school is pursuing? Jackson truly exemplifies the idea of contributing. He is an outstanding student who is willing to help others in class and has volunteered to help lower our flags each day at the end of the school day. He thanks me everyday at the end of class and when he gets lunch and breakfast. He is a tremendous asset to our school.
