Kara’s teacher, Mrs. Heidlebaugh, had this to say: “Kara is an excellent student and classroom friend. She works hard to be a better reader everyday. She is reading above grade level and really interested in any type of chapter book. She always participates and is willing to help other students who may be struggling. She is kind to others and always positive. She comes everyday with a smile on her face. She always asks how she can do better and get a better grade, when she already receives many Mastered and Exceeds marks on her report card. She also is a behavior role model in class. She is quick to follow directions, works well with any student, and strives to be the best student she can be.” Congratulations to Kara and her family.
