February's Student of the Month

McKenzee Hynning, a sixth grader, was selected at Sunset Ridge Intermediate School.  McKenzee is such an extraordinary young person.  She is inventive and inspirational.  She goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone has a way to stay connected during this time of distance.  Last year, in fifth grade, McKenzee created a Pod website so that the students in our pod could have a creative outlet to post artwork, talk about books, post puzzles and jokes, share work, etc.  This year, she expanded the website to include the students for our entire school.  She manages the other students working on the website and always expects top notch work from them.  She is a true leader in every sense of the word.  She is always engaged and works extremely hard.  McKenzee always makes sure that other students are included, and she is a positive role model for everyone around her.  She goes out of her way to make sure everyone feels welcomed and included.  We appreciate her ability to see the good in every situation and every person.
