"Kayden is a wonderful asset in our classroom. She maintains a professional attitude, encourages classmates and
completes her work efficiently and many times early. She is always willing to help her classmates when they experience a problem with an assignment with a friendly and upbeat attitude! This is great for lessening the stress of her classmates and cementing her knowledge of tools and processes. She consistently completes assignments before the due date and diligently seeks to always strives to do more. She is always willing to ask what else needs to be done which is very helpful to me. She has been instrumental in helping to organize/label and co-ordinate equipment in our classroom. This is an ONGOING battle as students work on projects. As equipment is checked out regularly and as new equipment has been ordered, she has helped label, set-up new camera cases and organizing equipment cabinets when necessary. Kayden's daily attitude is that of a servant leader. She generally works quietly and without expecting recognition for her work. She is professional in all her activities that I have witnessed. She is curious about learning and always wants to know how she can make projects better. She is friendly and outgoing with her classmates and is a joy to be around. For all these reasons, I believe she is a GREAT candidate for Student of the Month.

Kayden generally assists student with problems in their curriculum when I am helping others. She does this with a friendly and professional attitude and is respected by her peers. She has given of her time to assist with the equipment organization, labeling and co-ordinating of check-In/Check-Out procedures as she is generally the first one done with projects. She is always willing to step up when an off-scheduled project comes up and does so with grace and a positive attitude. She gives diligent attention to her assignments and works above what is expected. She has a delightful attitude, willing spirit and a desire to learn. Can I have another 20 of her??"
