⭐❤️💛 WHITEBEAD CHARACTER STARS – OCTOBER💛❤️⭐

Our October Character Trait was INITIATIVE!

Initiative means taking action, recognizing what needs to be done, helping others, and doing your best without always having to be asked.

We are excited to recognize the following Whitebead Chiefs who have demonstrated initiative in their classrooms and throughout our school! Thank you to our teachers for taking the time to recognize these students and share the wonderful things they are doing.

⭐ PRE-K

Jack Davis – Mrs. Day
"Jack has always been super helpful. If there is anything that needs to be taken care of in the classroom, he is there to help without being asked. Jack sets a great example of what it is to be responsible and helpful."

Jackson Lewis – Mrs. Briscoe
"Jackson usually does his job without being asked."

⭐ KINDERGARTEN

Ismael Parrilla – Mrs. Hayes
"Ismael is always willing to help someone without being asked. He always does what he is told without arguing or complaining."

Ensleigh Brown – Mrs. Beam
"Ensleigh is everyone's cheerleader! She does what she is supposed to do without being asked. She is always happy and positive toward everyone. She takes her time with classwork to do her very best."

⭐ 1ST GRADE

Jenna Davis – Mrs. Shippey
"She is always quick to help and read."

Olivia Kracke – Mrs. Prieto
"Olivia is a wonderful example of initiative! She takes the lead in her learning, is willing to help others, and does her very best. I am so proud of the confidence and independence she continues to show each day!"

⭐ 2ND GRADE

Hendrix Mars – Mrs. Pemberton
"He is always looking for ways to help. For example, during the past two weeks at recess, he has taken it upon himself to pick up trash on the playground just about every day."

Calvin Jay Walker – Mrs. Wood
"Calvin takes initiative when it comes to doing his work and solving problems."

⭐ 3RD GRADE

Francisco Meave – Mrs. Madden
"He is always super helpful in keeping our classroom and school clean by picking up trash and making sure things are picked up without being asked."

Aurora Salgado – Ms. Miller
"Aurora is the model for showing initiative. When she sees a need, she responds. In the classroom, she is always cleaning an unattended mess or straightening the tables and chairs. Aurora also cares deeply for other students. When we got a new student, she took the lead in welcoming and guiding her through learning the 'Whitebead Way.' She always makes sure others are included and have the supplies they need without being asked. Her initiative and nurturing personality make so many others feel secure and included."

⭐ 4TH GRADE

Helen Molina Gonzalez – Mr. Patton
"Helen is a wonderful student. She helps others without being asked and takes it upon herself to translate for the teacher. She makes sure all students have what they need for class and has even taken it upon herself to keep the calendar up to date. Helen is a very helpful student!"

Emily Munoz – Ms. Stanley
"Emily is often seen doing things for others, cleaning up after others, and helping others without being directly asked."

⭐ 5TH GRADE

Brentley Gonzales – Mrs. Lopez
"Brentley does a wonderful job of taking initiative. He is always on top of his assignments and works really hard. He gets things done without me having to remind him and is a self-starter."

Levi Creeks – Mrs. Higgins
"Levi doesn't wait. When he sees something that needs to be done, he does it. When someone needs help, he takes his time and explains things to other kids. His brain is always working. He is always searching for a new way to recreate something, a better way to explain a concept, and always trying something new."

⭐ 6TH GRADE

Natalia Gonzalez & Alexander Hernandez – Mrs. Pool and Mrs. Ezell
"Both of these students come to class and get started without having to be told."

⭐ 7TH GRADE

Ryleigh Brumley – Mrs. Ayres
"Ryleigh is a hard worker who always tries her hardest to do well. Oftentimes, she asks to take home assignments and work ahead, even when she is not required to do so. She often volunteers to help with tasks in class and is always pushing herself to do better."

⭐ 8TH GRADE

Keira Chandler – Mrs. Colmenares
"Keira is a member of the Academic Team and Student Council and is a bright student. She is vocal with ideas and has a great work ethic."
