Congratulations to Kaylee Hagerman, JAG-K Student of the Month! 🎉
Mrs. Steinlage: “Kaylee is a driven student in class. She is always involved in classroom discussions and gives good input to our lessons. She has been an asset to our class and is a joy to have in class. A few weeks back, I was having a rough day personally, and the concern on her face for my need was incredibly sweet. She could tell that I was worried and hurting and showed empathy through the entire situation. In my moment of vulnerability, she showed compassion.”
Mrs. Stahlecker: “Kaylee has been a joy getting to know this year. She is one I can always count on for a smile or laugh each day. Of course, she, too, is always up for a fun time!”
Mr. Scheideman: “Kaylee communicates well with her peers and her teachers. Also, she goes above and beyond in her daily work and writing.”
Mr. Upson: “Kaylee works hard in class. She always communicates about her grades if she is missing assignments. Kaylee is a great worker.”
We are proud to celebrate you this month, Kaylee! #larnedpride #besttribeever
