Whiz Kid: Justin Lawrence, 8

Nominated by his teacher, Ms. Bohonan, at Eagle Elementary School.

Justin Lawrence, age 8

  • Currently in the second grade at Eagle Elementary School
  • According to his teacher, Ms. Bohonan, "Justin is one of the hardest working students I have had the pleasure of teaching. He is also a model student for his peers."
  • Key to awesomeness: "Justin applies every strategy he is taught to his independent work in all subject areas. He diligently follows classroom and school rules, participates in class discussions, works with his peers cooperatively, and is a kind friend. He is willing to take risks in learning and reflect upon the outcomes of these risks. Justin has a 'never give up' type of attitude and always wants to better himself as a student" Bohonan said.
