Each month, the Sidney City Schools Board of Education will take a moment to recognize the outstanding achievements of our students through the Jacket Spotlight. This special segment highlights one student from each school, chosen for their exemplary performance, character, and dedication. Whether it’s academic excellence, leadership, community involvement, or personal growth, these students represent the best of what it means to be a Yellow Jacket.
October’s Jacket Spotlight students are:
Whittier Early Childhood Center recognized preschooler Zion Lane, son of Kendra Carter.
Zion has had a wonderful start in preschool. He has shown he can follow directions, be a good listener, and be a kind friend.
Ms. Wise, his teacher, says, “Zion always participates and is helpful in the classroom.” He has been practicing good self-control and making thumbs-up choices at school and daycare. His mom, brother Jeremiah, and Zion have been practicing thumbs-up choices at home, too.
