She shows responsibility by always having her classwork and homework completed. She is committed to helping her classmates and teachers with whatever is needed. She is always up for a challenge and pushes herself to be successful. She cheers others on and is a friend to everyone!
Eden is a responsible student. She is always willing to help the teacher or other students. She is kind and compassionate towards all. Eden always has a positive outlook and a smile on her face.
Eden is a kind and compassionate student that goes out of her way to make everyone around her feel good. She is hardworking, honest, and thoughtful. She works well with her classmates and is always respectful to her teachers. Last year when I was sick, she brought me a goodie bag with a can of chicken noodle soup, tissues, and a get well soon card. It made my day that she thought of me and wanted to help. She is such a special kid with a good heart!”
