Karter
Star Student
Karter, from our Little Hoots classroom, is a compassionate helper and a true friend. He comforts peers when they’re feeling sad with a gentle hug or a pat on the back, and he’s quick to invite them to play. Karter also enjoys helping his teachers by gathering supplies and passing items around during activities.
Thank you for being such a kind and caring role model, Karter!
