Student of the Week!

Barrett Fountain- 9th grade
 
I have had Barrett in class since seventh grade, and he has always been quiet until this year. I am glad he has finally broken out of his shell so I could know more about his personality. He is now one of the first ones in class on Fridays to ask me if they can have free time, the last ten minutes. He has a very polite manner and is also diligent about completing his work. I am pleased to have him in class.
