"Don't count the days. Make the days count." – Muhammad Ali
STUDENT OF THE WEEK
Corbin Eaton, a first-grade student in Mrs. Hankins' class, is the son of Paul and Heather Eaton. His favorite subject is Math, and while he isn't currently involved in school activities just yet, Corbin enjoys welding and dreams of becoming a welder one day. Outside of school, Corbin loves to play football!
According to Mrs. Wiley, Corbin consistently demonstrates strong leadership and is always quick to follow the rules. He is eager to help whenever he can, supporting both students and teachers alike. With exceptional manners and a bright eagerness to learn, Corbin is the kind of student every teacher hopes to have. Congratulations, Corbin!
