Kindergarten student Laney Williams is West Carroll Primary School’s student of the week, nominated by Ms. Sherry Haywood.
“Laney is a focused and hard-working student who always gives her very best,” said Haywood. “She listens carefully, participates eagerly and is always willing to answer questions and contribute to class discussions. Her strong work ethic and positive attitude make her stand out every single day.”
Sixth grade student Juan Anguiano is West Carroll Elementary School’s student of the week, nominated by Ms. Bridget Neisler.
“Juan consistently follows directions with a positive attitude and gives his best effort on every assignment. He has demonstrated wonderful leadership skills and discovered a true passion for reading.
