Elementary School Honoree – Jakob Barnett

Jakob is hard working and kind. He treats others with respect at all times. He has a great sense of humor and always sees the good in the things around him. He loves to learn and he always gives everything he does his best. He goes above and beyond in the classroom. That permeates through the classroom and helps us all be better.

Getting to know Jakob Barnett

• Would you rather win $10,000 or let your best friend win $100,000? “I’d want my friend to win the money because I want to be nice.”

• What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? “Be nice to people and help others.”

• If you could have one song play every time you entered a room what would it be? “Old Town Road because my family plays it a lot and it makes me think of them.”

“Jakob is the kind of kid that makes the entire classroom better simply by having such a great attitude,” said Dr. Kelli Barnett, Jakob’s third-grade teacher. “He loves to do extra projects and dive deep in his learning and that is contagious.”
