HomeMy WebLinkAbout2002-10-22 Award My ~in~f~'Emily Panther and ! would like to thank you fqr this t~m',or. In school
I partmipate in Conflict M;magers and Student Council. I li!-:e it when people look up to
me like my little brott~er. Since I'm a Conflict Manager h~atways likes to tag along.
O~e of my favorite times at school is o~ Tuesday when we have reading buddies. I like
helping them with their'schoolwork. Outside of school I am really busy. I was in Gift
Scouts from first grade to third. I have been taking piano lessons since first grade and
have won one trophy. I am working ori my second. In two years ifI keep getting the
highest score I will have it. The thing I have been the most busy with is my brand new
horse, I was thinking about doing 4-H witiO her. She is tots of hard work. You have to
muck out her stall and exercise her. Having a horse was my dream since I was 6. It's
been great having one. At home I like to rake the yard and do other outside chores.
Daring the spring, summer, and early/'all I like to walk my dog. During the winter I mn
her in my back yard. Again I would like to thank you for this great honor.
Dear City Council,
I just try to follow the rules and try to act like a good role
model to little kids. Some of the things I participate
school to make it a, better place is Safety Pat~'ol and
Conflict Managers. On Safety Patrol we have to come to
school early and stay late. We make sure everyb~-d¥'s
going to school at the right time and the right place. We
also make sure nobody comes back into school
permission from a teacher or has an adult with tl~em. On
Conflict Managers we help kids solve their problems at
recess. My class also does reading buddies wit]~ a first
grade class. We go and read to them for a half an
once a week.
Out of school I play the cello in the eastside Strings
Orchestra. I also participate in a lot of sports inclt~ding
basketball, baseball, soccer, and flag football.
Sincerely,
Kyle A. Tester
Dear City Council,

scouts for 2 years. I've played baseball for 4 years. I am in the
Extended Learning Progra~-n and have been in that since 3''~
grade. I help my mom with "Rt~n For The Schools." I read to
1st graders every week. I try my hardest at school and try to
help other kids do their best. I want to set a good example for
younger kids.
