In the classroom, his journal entries are full of vibrant colors, detailed illustrations, and creative storytelling that make his work stand out. His imagination shines brightly in all that he does—what a wonderful example of creativity in action!

Bobby uses his creativity in the best way. He enjoys coming up with creative ways to solve problems, and often asks 'what if' questions to spark creative thinking in others; especially in science. His creativity helps make the classroom more exciting and inspiring for all. Creativity is key to deeper learning and understanding. Bobby has gifted our class with great discussions this year, and I can't wait for more to come.

McCall Elementary School: John Myers, 2nd Grade
John can turn his own world into one that is filled with talking animals and flying cars instantly - and I have watched him do it at recess. He is always finding ways to sing along to the books I read, pretending to be my protector against spiders in the hallway, and so much more. John sees the world through a lens of creativity that makes him always seem to have an idea spinning in his head of how he can imagine something a little bit better than current reality! He is ready to step into an imaginative world that is created by him, but also loves to join worlds of books when he is being read to. I love to listen to John tell stories because he is very expressive. Keep being creative, bud!
McKinney Elementary School: June Reeves, 1st Grade
June's teacher writes; June embodies what it means to be creative!!! She is a kiddo whose imagination never seems to rest—she could turn a cardboard box into a rocket ship or a castle in seconds. Her drawings are full color and idea and details often telling stories no one else has thought of yet. Whether she’s building, painting, or inventing new games at recess, June sees the world as a place full of endless possibilities.
Stuard Elementary School: Collier Jones, 5th Grade
Collier has such a unique perceptive and view on the world. This drives him to do highly creative things like intricate art work, well thought out class presentations, and consistently thinking outside the box. Not only does his creativity help him stand out to his teachers, but I know his peers take notice and inspiration from him as well. We know that this creativity will help Collier achieve great things in 5th grade and beyond!
Vandagriff Elementary School: Chelsea Glass, 5th Grade
Chelsea shows creativity every day! Chelsea loves trying new things and thinking outside the box, and it really shows in everything she does. Her amazing imagination, unique ideas, and wonderful way of looking at the world inspires her classmates and brings joy to our school community!
