Mrs. Campbell's class would like to nominate Miss Maya for our Outstanding Oiler of Respect. Our class chose Maya because she goes above and beyond in using manners and following school rules. Her friends say that she is kind and polite and treats them nicely. Maya also shows respect to all of the adults in Eastwood, whether it be at specials, lunch, or anyone she encounter in the day. She uses manners by always saying please, and thank you, and raising her hand at appropriate times. You will always catch Maya demonstrating hallway and classroom expectations, and even better is that she does it with a smile on her face. She is respectful, responsible, and safe when playing outside on the playground, and demonstrates how to be a good friend to others. Mrs. Campbell could go on and on about how delightful Maya is, and she feel extremely lucky to get to be her teacher this year. She makes Eastwood a great school because of her respectful and positive attitude. Way to go Maya!
