What do you like most about your school? I like the personal feeling I get from my teachers through their one-on-one attention. Knowing that if you have any trouble there’s someone on the other end of the phone who can help, and is happy to do so, makes me feel good.
Nominated by: English Teacher Thomas O’Bryan
Here’s what Mr. O’Bryan has to say about Elijah who is a triplet and works with his two sisters on the school’s virtual newspaper:: Elijah is an outgoing, creative, old soul. He loves George Gershwin songs, writes beautiful poetry, volunteers at a local animal shelter and is just a blast to be around. While all three siblings can write, speak and think like adults, Elijah has a creative edge and his compassion and sensitivity to the beauty of all living things gives him the tools needed to be a skilled poet and storyteller.
