Nominees exhibit respect, responsibility, gratitude, empathy, teamwork, kindness, integrity, perseverance, and/or optimism.
Warren “Mills” Stancil has been named the 6th grade Golden Gator for his empathy, teamwork, and kindness. Mr. Jackson nominated Mills saying, “Mills never misses a chance to help others. Whether it is to help a fellow student, or to clean up a mess he didn’t make, Mills has an amazing attitude. He empathizes with others and attacks every day with a positive attitude.”

More than one teacher nominated JoJo, including Mrs. Blackstone. She said, “I am nominating JoJo for the golden gator award because she consistently shows kindness, teamwork, and perseverance in the classroom. JoJo has such a positive attitude and is always willing to help her teachers and classmates. She works hard on every task, stays focused, and gives her best efforts when something is challenging.
