April 2023

We are pleased to announce that Ryan Cook has been chosen as our Student of the Week. Ryan is in Kindergarten and is the son of Jon and Shelby Cook. Ryan is a very considerate classmate. He is always willing to lend a hand to fellow students having difficulties with daily routines. Math is his specialty, and he often scores 100% on assignments. However, his favorite class is gym. This summer, Ryan wants to learn how to play basketball and hockey like his mom and dad. When he is not spending time outdoors with his family, Ryan likes to play video games that let him build and be creative like Minecraft. Congratulations to Ryan and his family!
