Getting to know Ruby:
- What are you most looking forward to this summer?
“I’m looking forward to going to Montreal, Canada. We may be going as a family for vacation. We’ve lived there before I started Kindergarten. My mom worked there. I’d like to see my friends again that live there.”
- What is one feature you’d have to have on your dream car?
“I’d like for my family to have Jeep! I like Jeeps, they’re cool. I’d like one we could take the top off of.”
- What is your favorite part of school?
“Probably my teachers and friends. I like my table where I sit. I like the teachers, Mrs. Doran and Mrs. Cindy. They are the best! They are really nice. They are a mix of strict and nice, and that helps you learn.”
“Ruby is incredibly kind and helpful in the classroom,” said Mrs. Doran, Ruby’s 2nd-grade teacher. “She even asked if she was able to nominate a student for student spotlight-because she truly wants to lift others up! Ruby enjoys making others feel valued and is a friend to all. She treats everyone with respect, kindness, and care. Ruby sets a positive example for her classmates each day!”
