April Super Knights!

Here at SJHS every month we pick a boy and girl from each grade to be Super Knights. They are great students that work very hard, and the teachers take a vote to pick who they think deserves the award. This month for April, our seventh graders are EmmaLee Smith and Kevin Sumsion, the eighth graders are Katie Peterson and Zach Dalley, and the ninth graders are Erin Caswell and Devin Vest.         

These are the teacher comments for each Super Knight: 

EmmaLee Smith:

EmmaLee is always so pleasant to be around she always smiles and does her best. She always speaks to me in the hall and is so pleasant. What stands out most about EmmaLee is that she is kind and she works hard. She comes to class gets her work and gets down to business. When the instructions are given, she follows them with exactness. She is one of the best examples of a successful learner I've seen all year.
