She was also a grand prize winner in the district envelope contest,” teacher Bonnye Brown wrote in nominating Marie. “Marie has a beautiful personality and has blossomed as an artist and as a student this this year. She loves to read and is an excellent student in art class. I have no doubt that she will continue doing great things in high school.”

Congratulations, Marie!

“Shaolin is a model student for his other classmates. His natural curiosity, critical thinking, and relationship skills are advanced well beyond his years,” City Year Impact Manager Eli Parker wrote in nominating Shaolin. “He has made honor roll every single quarter and grown exponentially throughout the year. I am going to encourage him to run for student council next school year because he wants to make Central Middle School a better place for all students. I'm grateful to have had him in my class.”

Congratulations, Shaolin!
