Our Student of the Week...

Our Student of the Week is Mikaleena.  Some of her FAVORITE things are the color pink, dogs, pizza, Judy Moody books, skating, reading, gym, and playing on her trampoline!  She is a star because she cares about others and shows others she cares by helping them!  Three things you may not know about her are that she loves skating, she likes gymnastics, and she likes to play with American Girl Dolls.  Good Job, Mikaleena!!
