New Stanley Elementary School
Nominated by Clare Anthony, teacher
“Meloney is a wonderful student to have in our fourth grade class. She brings so many great assets to our classroom that not only improves her own learning but all the students around. She always strives to increase her knowledge in all subject areas by reading and asking questions. Meloney nevers turns in work that is not done to the best of her abilities and many other students can learn from her. She is a hard worker, respectful, helpful and reliable. It is a joy to teach a student like Meloney!” Sincerely, Clare Anthony, teacher
