He strives each day to come into the classroom and lead others, consistently working towards progressing on each subject area, and is always checking in to see how he is doing.

Several of our classes were able to have a guest reader this week. Noah Westbrook who plays football at Brevard College was home on Spring Break this week, so he came one day and read to several classes. One student's dream is to be a NFL football player one day. This student having the opportunity to talk to Noah about playing college football made his day. #NadosReadtoPumas
