"Let Your Kind Shine”
Kindness is everywhere at CES! The three recipients of this week's awards were nominated by a teacher or staff member for showing exceptional kindness. They received a sunshine keepsake and the opportunity to sit in the yellow sunshine chair over the next week to promote kindness throughout CES!
Raelyn Bittaker (Miss Cothern’s 1st Grade)
Raelyn is always giving someone a smile. She is constantly encouraging others and including people that are not involved.
Lexi Danner (Ms. Davis’ 3rd Grade)
Lexie is a ray of sunshine everyday. She is the first to help out, cheer up a friend at recess, or fill up her teacher's water bottle with ice every morning! Lexie shines with kindness each and every day. Go Lexie!
Clara Kerr (Mrs. Gilliland’s 5th Grade)
Clara is always checking on those around her. She cares about others feelings, one example of this happened during out Partner in Education session. Our presenter was passing out candy for correct answers to questions. She had already gotten a piece and when she answered a second question correct she gave her piece to another student who had not been able to give an answer yet. The student was very appreciative. This is one small example of how she lets her kindness show. She is willing to lift others up and always kind

Hendrix Howe (Mrs. Hayen’s Kindergarten)
Hendrix Howe deserves to be nominated for the Let Your Kind Shine Award because he consistently shows kindness and compassion to others. Even as a kindergartener, Hendrix has a soft heart and is always willing to help his classmates and teachers. His gentle nature, willingness to include others, and helpful attitude make him a wonderful example of how small acts of kindness can brighten someone’s day. Hendrix truly lets his kindness shine in everything he does.
Lincoln Melgar (Miss Hall’s 2nd Grade)
Lincoln is always willing to help a friend in need and uses kindness throughout his whole day! He is a great friend to others and a wonderful team player in the classroom!
Anniston Christy is a fourth grader in Mrs. Beck’s room.
We are proud to honor this student with the Sunshine Award! Although Anniston may be quiet and shy, her kindness shines brightly every day. She is always willing to help others, whether it's offering a gentle hand, sharing supplies, or quietly supporting a classmate who needs a friend. Her caring heart and thoughtful actions make a big difference in our classroom. She leads with kindness, works hard, and brings a warm and positive spirit to our school community. We are so grateful for the sunshine she shares just by being her sweet self!
