Auston Blue
Maria Montessori Academy
Serving Others Through Grace and Courtesy: Auston is very respectful to his teachers and their boundaries for him. He is always obeying and following grace and courtesy during lunch time, transition times, etc. He will take his hat off as soon as he walks into the school and has now begun to remind other students of the grace and courtesy that goes along with the rules regarding hats at our school.
Lifelong Learner: This year, Auston has really stepped up his game when it comes to academics. He is not afraid to ask questions when he does not understand something, and he has been committed to staying on top of his work in all parts of class (ELA, Math, etc.). Auston has been working extra hard recently to get all his grades in order so that he can play on the school soccer team.
Integrity and Honesty: Recently, Auston and friends were doing some things that they were not supposed to be doing in the library, and his friends got caught but he did not. Soon after, he came back from the library and told his teacher that he had been a part of what happened there. Not only was he honest about what happened, but he also independently walked back down to the library to apologize.
Paxton Lighthall
Orion Jr. High School
Paxton is an excellent student, a hard worker, and has a goal to stay on the high honor roll. Something special that stands out about Paxton is his willingness to get out of his comfort zone and challenge himself in areas that he wants to improve in. He participates in Latinos in Action and wanted to take that class to have the opportunity to learn leadership skills and help others. As a class, they go over to Majestic Elementary twice a week to read with and tutor students, help run our food pantry at Orion, clean up in the cafeteria, and volunteer in many areas, depending on the needs at Orion. Paxton is active in sports and looks for ways to get involved. He is in theatre, plays basketball, volleyball, and was a manager for Orion’s boys basketball team this year. Paxton is such a kind-hearted individual and strives to do the right things. Congratulations, Paxton!
