Alivia Long

Alivia was selected for the positive energy she exudes with her classmates and teachers. She said, “One time, I witnessed Alivia help a student follow the group plan in a classroom. She saw that her peer was struggling and, without even being asked, went to the student and offered for them to join her. The student immediately responded positively to her invitation and was able to successfully participate in the activity.”

Payton Almquist

The Almquist name is, no doubt, well known and synonymous with excellence – Sheri and Jim are terrific supporters of our District’s students and staff. Payton is continuing that tradition of excellence. As an 8^th grader, Payton has been a part of 4H, Volleyball, Basketball, and Yearbook. In fact, Principal Christiansen reminded everyone that Payton was one of three students who created the Thanksgiving food drive and created this wonderful video.

Logan Ford

“If someone is sitting alone at lunch, Logan sits by them or asks them to join his group. If someone doesn’t have a friend to play with at recess, Logan invites them to play his game with him. Beyond that, Logan is respectful to his teachers and even keeps an organized desk. At the IC, we have the tradition of reading the book Only One You which talks about importance of using your gifts and talents to make the world a better place, and Logan puts this into action every day at the IC.”

Emma Erickson

“Emma is such a nurturing, kind and helpful young lady. She has readily stepped up to help others who need support. Emma often, just naturally, jumps in to the ‘helper roll’ and has really built some strong, trusting relationships with her peers.”
