ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Conner Chambliss
2nd Grade | Nominated by Ms. Hansen
Conner brings a smile and a positive attitude to every class meeting! He loves to learn and consistently comes prepared to listen, participate, and grow in his reading. His enthusiasm for learning shines through in everything he does.
Conner is always willing to answer questions across subjects and approaches each new challenge with excitement and determination. His kind personality and eagerness to improve each day make him such a joy to teach.
Keep shining, Conner!


MIDDLE SCHOOL
Caden Chambliss
6th Grade | Nominated by Ms. Podry and Ms. Bennett
Caden joined Colearn partway through the quarter and immediately embraced his new learning environment! He quickly adapted to the course format and jumped right into the material, demonstrating impressive initiative and determination.
Despite joining after the quarter had begun, Caden successfully completed an assessment covering an entire history unit he had missed. He actively participates in class, answers questions, completes his assignments, and thoughtfully lets his teachers know when a resource or link needs attention. His responsibility, adaptability, and willingness to contribute make him a wonderful example for others.
Way to go, Caden!
HIGH SCHOOL
Richard Van Winkle
12th Grade | Nominated by Mr. Spinell
Richard is a dedicated senior who balances his Colearn coursework with trade school and aviation school. His busy schedule can sometimes make attending live classes challenging, but he recently took full advantage of a break in his extracurricular commitments to make exceptional academic progress.
Richard attended live sessions with his camera and microphone on, actively participated in discussions, and reached out with thoughtful questions across multiple classes. He completed several rigorous assignments and made significant progress on the novel he is writing for his One Year Adventure Novel (OYAN) course. His initiative, engagement, and commitment to his education truly stood out.
Richard's teacher shared that his presence enriched the live classes he attended. His ability to balance multiple educational opportunities while remaining committed to his academic goals is something to celebrate!
Congratulations, Richard!
