EDWIN J. KEIST ELEMENTARY
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
The person I choose is Mr. Leon. I chose him because he is very approachable, funny, and kind.
and I really appreciate his patience with me when I was struggling to understand .
One of the main reasons I am always excited to go to class is Mr. Leons amazing ability to make learning interactive and fun, which constantly helps me understand difficult topics and look forward to every day.
Mr. Leon lets me know he cares about us by ensuring a welcoming classroom , and not embarrassing students for wrong answers, and managing the classroom without yelling.
Mr. Leon encourages us to focus on our own progress rather than competing with others, boosting confidence through each other.
He has supported me in countless ways like helping when I am struggling, supporting when I'm about to debate, and no matter where we are, whether at home or on vacation I will always remember his support.❤
