Please come forward to the board OF uh good evening everyone to all board members to our superintendent our principal parent my co- teachers and students I'm so excited
006to talk about a very special pretty student who brings so much joy time and energy to our classroom every day. Just so you know, the brain of a four years old is full of curiosity and questions. This young man constantly asking what, why, when, how, where, showing a drive to understand the world. This young man comes to school every day full of questions. A questions like Miss Gla, how many planets can can be placed in a planet? Miss Ga, how many minutes before the end of the school? Why this and that and that? So a question that no one can answer if you do research or calculation. >> Sorry ma'am. So that's a question that no a question that no one can really answer but you need research and calculation but since we are teachers
007we have always answers. He is also our little human timer. Every time I say one minute he will count backwards. He is our math wizard knowing addition, subtraction, and even can multiply and he can memorize multiplication table one up to 10. >> But this young one is not just smart. >> He is kind. He knows how to share, take turns, and help others in the classroom. We choose him because he plans beyond expectation. And in prek, play is the work of learning. So, I'm so excited to call his name. My our human timer, our math wizard, our ma master of numbers, TADASHI. SO, I think Bigger. Yeah. >> And I forgot to mention he can read a full story and a full paragraph as well. One, two, and three. I'd like to take a moment
008to recognize our superintendent, our principal, our board members, all of our wonderful teachers, and of course the very proud proud parents and families here with us today. >> In our kindergarten classroom, we read stories every single day. Big adventures, tiny tales, silly stories, and the kind where everyone ends up laughing. And today, since we have such special guests, I'd like to share a very special kindergarten story with all of you. A story about one of our very own little heroes, Roger. Once upon a time in a bright, colorful, and sometimes wonderfully noisy kindergarten classroom, there lived a brave young hero named Roger. >> Now, Roger didn't wear a cape, although I'm pretty sure he could, especially if monster trucks ever decide to sponsor superheroes. But he had something even better, a heart that kept growing
009every single day. At the very beginning of kindergarten, Roger and I started our adventure together. And like all great stories, he had a few empty rooms. Some mornings felt big. Some feelings felt even bigger. And he was standing next to a giant monster truck revving its engine. loud, powerful, and maybe even a little intimidating. But here's what makes Roger a true hero. He didn't stop trying. He didn't turn around. He didn't give up. Instead, Roger climbed right into the driver's seat of kindergarten and slowly learned how to steer through each day. He practiced being brave even when things felt tough. He practiced calming those big emotions, learning how to breathe, how to pause, and how to try again. And every time he did, his hero art grew just a little bit stronger. And then, just
010like every great hero, Roger revealed a superpower of his own, reading. Roger is a fantastic reader. When he reads, it's smooth, exciting, and confident. Like watching a monster truck raise up a huge ram, soar through the air, and land perfectly on all four tires. His eyes light up. But the best part of Roger's story isn't just his reading or his bravery or his big kindergarten heart. The best part is watching how much he's grown. Every day and every moment, Roger keeps showing us what hard work, courage, and kindness look like. So today, we celebrate Roger not only for being smart and talented, but for being determined, resilient, and brave. We're starting kindergarten feeling, and growing into someone who can handle big emotions, trying new things, and shine in ways he didn't even know. Roger, we
011are incredibly so proud of you and congratulations on being our superintendent student of the month. You've truly earned it. You're almost Good evening everyone. Um, our kindergarten student of the month may be one of the smallest in our classroom, but her presence shines larger and brighter than anyone could imagine. From the moment she walks into the classroom each morning, she brings a joyful energy that lifts everyone around her. Her big, bright personality fills her space with positivity, kindness, and >> despite her young age, she shows an impressive level of maturity. She follows routines with ease, listens attentively, and completes her task independ independently, often without needing reminders. She takes pride in her in her work and shows a strong sense of responsibility. >> What makes her even more remarkable is how she carries herself in
012the class and gets busy. While many kindergarten moments come with excitement and noise, she remains calm and steady. She is often the one encouraging her classmates to be respectful, responsible, and ready. Her gentle reminders and thoughtful actions set an example for everyone. >> She is also a friend that both classmates know they can help us. >> Helps others with classroom task. Whether it's cleaning up, organizing materials, or supporting a child who needs help. She shares her snacks without hesitation when someone forgets their or doesn't have one. On days when a classmate feels sad, misses their mom or dad, or just needs a little comfort, she's the first one to offer a hug or a kind word. Her heart for others, her leadership, and her ability to brighten any room make her truly stand out. She
013embodies kindness, responsibility, and compassion in a way that inspires her peers and make our classroom a better place every single day. >> I am incredibly proud of our as my superintendent student of the month. She is a wonderful example of what it means to be a young learner with a big heart. She is no other than Lexi Ruth. >> You don't want to be tall. >> No. One, two, three. Big smile. All right. Good evening everybody. Alexander. Alexander. Depending on the moment in class, no matter which name I call, he always looks up at me with those bright eyes full of curiosity and joy. If I had to choose adjectives to describe him, I'd need every word wonderful one in the dictionary. He is smart but grounded, knowledgeable but responsible, competitive but respectful, hardworking but
014always joyful. Alexander is a perfect example of a student who understands why he comes to school. He puts genuine effort into everything he does. He knows his strengths. He knows his weaknesses. And he uses both to grow every single day. As a friend, he's unbeatable. He's Alex the kind kid. He's the adventurous adventurous one. He's Alexander the thoughtful learning. When I look at him, I see a child who embraces freedom, curiosity, and kindness. yet carries himself with such strong values. So, let's get ready for a big cheer, a big yay for our first grade superintendent student of the month, Alexander Vega. Roger. Good evening to our superintendent, principal and steam board for members. It is my honor to present my student of the month. Someone whose qualities truly reflect the BR or B in his
015name. He is bright, brilliant, and cons consistently bringing positivity in our classroom. This student has an impressive ability to understand lessons quickly. Once he learns something, he moves forward with quite confidence. Yet, despite his academic strength, he remains remarkably tumble. He never boasts about what he knows. Instead, he stays focused, steady, and respectful. And what truly sets him apart is his heart. He chooses to bring kindness into every situation. He has recently begun congratulating classmates who improve their scores, offering sincere encouragement, and celebrating their progress with a simple heartbook. Good job. >> He consistently chooses kindness over conflict, showing brave calmness and broad understanding even in moments of misunderstanding. His ability to solve problems respectfully reflects the maturity of a truly educated young student. And this young man continues to brighten our classroom with his
016humility, wisdom, and quiet leadership. He inspires those around him, not by being the loudest, but being the kindest. It is with great pride that I say bravo to our brilliant student of the month, BRIEN. What was he? students real quick. Um we have our our students are left one left.
