Lennon, a sixth grader at Center-Stanton Elementary School, has been recognized as the April Kid of the Month for her contributions to the school community. Inspired by her teacher, Lennon, along with a friend, initiated a school-wide competition during March's reading month. The challenge encouraged students to create illustrations for their own book covers.
"We wanted to see all of the different drawings and also wanted the kids to have a little bit of fun during reading month," Lennon explained.
In addition to this initiative, around Valentine's Day, Lennon and her friend set up a Kindness Bulletin Board at the school. This board invited students and staff to write kind notes to one another and post them. Lennon personally delivered these notes throughout the school. The response was so enthusiastic that they eventually ran out of sticky notes.
Lennon's teacher, Lisa Gusewelle, commended her for her exceptional work ethic and kindness. "She stands out for her work ethic, kindness, and willingness to help out in class," Gusewelle noted.
