Honoring Students

Andrew is given an “Honoring Student Award.”

Each month the elementary school gathers to give teachers an opportunity to recognize a boy and a girl from each grade level regarding their individual strengths demonstrated at school. The parents are invited and a small reception follows the event. This is not a merit based or behavior award. Every student regardless of grades or discipline will be honored during the year.

During the presentation the student’s teacher reads a certificate that describes the positive attributes of the child. This is what Mrs. Bidiman wrote about Andrew….

Andrew joined us at the beginning of the school year and has been a wonderful addition to our class. He is a student who enjoys life and had such enthusiasm and love for learning. There have been many times when I have learned form him. Just a few days ago, he showed our math group how to figure out a special math problem. He was very patient and explained in great detail how to solve it.

His classmates are in awe at how quick he picks up a new concept. Just last night, Moto, a Japanese student visiting our school, was telling me how amazed he was that Andrew was able to pickup a technique in Karate that he was shown after just one time of being taught.

Andrew is exceptionally bright, but also puts in a great deal of time outside of class, practicing math problems, reading more than his required time, and working on science units for enjoyment. He has the wonderful support of his parents and they are always looking for ways to challenge Andrew and help him reach his full potential.
























If you spend any time with Andrew you will quickly find out that he is very athletic. I remember watching him at recess time the first week he was here. Mrs. Gray and I were chuckling because he was playing dodgeball with the older classes, buzzing here and there without getting out. Andrew is also skilled at Karate and baseball, and if you were able to watch the assembly this morning, you can see how talented he is.

Andrew, it is a pleasure teaching you. I love your dedication to school and the positive attitude you bring to our class. Congratulations!
