Kayla Burton was absolutely outstanding this past quarter in the Newsletter class.  She displayed leadership skills beyond her age.  The Holiday issue of the Eye of the Cougar was behind schedule and it was appearing as though we would not make our deadline.  Kayla came in on a Saturday and worked several hours to finish the document and get it printed.  I was very impressed with her drive and determination.  Kayla enjoys sports, especially soccer.  She is an aspiring photographer.  Like most girls her age she enjoys shopping with friends. Zoya Stoican performed at the highest level in my 6th grade computer class last quarter.  Her work was consistently of the highest caliber.  Her positive attitude and pleasant demeanor led students to seek her help when struggling with the various projects.  She was always willing to provided this much needed help.  Ms. Barton who subs for me when I'm with my wife found Zoya to be very helpful, as well.  Zoya enjoys the music of Ashley Tisdale, drawing and painting, and making movies with her sisters.  Gavyn Rutz took over the number one spot in my 6th grade math class just as the first semester ended.  This #1 ranking is not the real reason I chose him as a top cougar. Gavyn comes to class every day with a genuine desire to learn.  He comes prepared and takes pride in his work.  I really love the way Gavyn participates in class activities. I think being #1 was a goal he set for himself and then went out and accomplished it.  Good job!  Gavyn has been involved in Karate for three years and loves the Great American Pastime, also.
