Jay'ceon Wilson in 5-P has offered a hand to help a Kindergarten student back to class when the student was struggling. I saw him on another occasion give him a little high five which made the kindergartener smile.Adilynn Aguirre in 1-Wallen. Adilynn has helped her peers smile when having a bad day.
