Jaxon is a Grade 4 student at Neerlandia Public Christian School. He was nominated for the Citizenship Award by Teacher Kim Sybesma.

Jaxon is often asked to be a partner in group work because he helps and supports others. He is patient, willing to take the time to help his classmates. Jaxon works well in groups, people want him in their groups because he takes a leadership role and he enjoys working with others.

Jaxon is inclusive and displays kindness to others. Sybesma says, “I really appreciated that he included the new student who joined our class. I remember the first day for the new student, Jaxon was working in a group of students and called over the new student to work with him. He also included him in his soccer game outside.” He continually includes classmates he sees on the outside to ensure everyone participates in the classroom community.

Jaxon is a good listener, he listens well to instructions and works consistently to get the assignments done. When something is required of Jaxon, his teachers can count on him to get it done. He comes early to school and will often hand out supplies without being asked. Jaxon is dependable and when asked to do something, it will be done well and to completion.

The school board is pleased to present Jaxon with the Citizenship Award for recognition of the positive contributions he makes in his school and community. Congratulations!
