Congratulations to Jaylonn McCuin, a 5th grade student at Bonner Elementary School, for being named the District Elementary Student of the Month for December. 

Jaylonn isn't just a student of the month; he’s a confidence booster, a hard worker, and an all-around awesome individual! He comes to school every day wanting to learn, works hard on and off the football field, and resonates a win-win attitude. Jaylon is an All-Star Bee!!

Enjoy some of the things Jaylonn’s teachers said about him:

He is working hard to grow. He asks for help when he needs it, he wants to work in a small group with the teacher to improve skills. He is respectful to others; he tries to help others if he can. He is always ready to learn, and he really wants to. He is always doing his best.

Jay Jay has been acing ELAR and Math, working his socks off, and what’s even cooler? He's tackled both academics and football with the same energy and passion.

It's not just about the grades for Jaylonn; it's about owning his learning journey. And talk about confidence – Jaylonn radiates it! He faces challenges head-on, inspiring everyone around him. His positive attitude is contagious, making the whole class feel like they can conquer anything. 

J. McCuin is not only a leader on the football field, but he also exudes leadership in the classroom. In the gym he is in his element. Always taking the initiative to be proactive and help others in need. And is very good at synergizing, showing graceful sportsmanship to his peers. He's a remarkable young man.

It's a pleasure having him in my classroom this school year. He is learning about putting first things first. He is a fantastic student.
