Pretty great! Then, each 6th grade teacher is asked to select one person from their class who deserves special recognition. They give a short speech on why this person deserves this award. Kaydra’s teacher, Mr. Couser, who teaches her Advanced Language Arts and Advanced Math class, selected her. He gave a very complimentary speech of our little girl. We are so proud of her! I’ll try to post the video of him, but I also transcribed what he said because a video won’t work when I put this in a book later.
“There are so many qualified and exceptional young ladies and men at this school. But, this person beyond being kind, and courteous, and thoughtful, and helpful, and magnanimous (yes, that’s a vocabulary word) That in my Advanced Language Arts class and Advanced Math class this person for the second semester had the highest scores of the year in both classes. And on the ISAT tests, combined with Lanuage Arts, Reading, and Math, had the highest scores at Lakes Middle School. And last week when we had our Advanced Language Arts activity on applying for a teaching position, Mr. Bangston, our infamous principle selected this lady as the top candidate. So, our HIGH FIVE award goes to Kaydra FitzSimmons!”
--Mr. Couser, Lakes Middle School
Leonard was able to get an hour off work so he could come. He brought her flowers. On top of everything, she was also picked for the prize drawing. She won some Skull Candy headphones and a candy bar!
Good job, Kaydra. You are amazing!
