5th Grade: Eli Lyons
Eli has grown a lot this year, and I am proud to nominate him for Brave of the Week. Eli shows kindness to his peers and teachers by offering his help to classmates on assignments when he has mastered a skill. He is always one of the first to jump in and clean up the classroom, oftentimes without being asked. Eli always manages to make us laugh with his jokes and humor. He is a skilled soccer player, and you can always find him on the field during recess. We are so proud of Eli and all the ways he adds light to our classroom!
