🎓 ❤ Reece Wilkins | RSD Profile of the Graduate Story
Students’ reading, writing, math, and social skills are continuously evolving and building upon each other with the goal of growing each year. While some students may be at different levels, everyone is learning and evolving together!
For students like Reece Wilkins at Center Valley Elementary, learning together is most important.
Center Valley Elementary Principal, Mrs. Victoria Golden says Reece is a strong leader in his classroom and strives to recognize the value in every one of his fellow classmates. “He leads well in classroom discussions. When working in partner pairs, he stops to listen to others speak and expounds on what others have to say. Reece is the student who is friends with everyone and values everyone's thoughts and opinions!”
❤ Reece, you are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for leading with empathy and for being an Inclusive Collaborator!
