Terrific Kid

We never thought this would happen but this is what can happen when you put your mind to something.   With hard work, lots of effort, and determination you can achieve anything.   Zeak is a terrific kid especially in his element, school is just not his element.     We are so proud of him and want him to know he is terrific and a piece of paper isn't what makes him terrific.   

This is what his teacher had to say.

It was a difficult decision for me this month to decide who is deserving of this last Terrific Kid award in my class.  I had to think about everything:  who has already won, who has shown growth, who has changed their behavior tremendously, who has been a leader and example to others.   I have such a small class that everyone has had a very good chance of earning this award.  But after all of this consideration, I decided on Zeak Woodland.  
Zeak Woodland has worked hard since our last conference improving himself.  I asked a lot of him during our meeting.   He has responded and has changed the way he views school.   It hasn't gone unnoticed by his parents either.   We're all so proud of him for making the changes that will ultimately help him more down the road.   He really deserves this!!!
Zeak is a great student and person.  I hope he continues to make school a big priority in his life.   It is the key to a fun and successful life.   Good Luck!  Mr Moore
