This week’s “Classroom Champion” award goes to DeKalb West School student Pierce Moreno.
The award was presented recently by Smithville Attorney Jim Judkins.
Moreno is the son of John and Yolanda Moreno.
A second grader in Shelia McMillen’s class this last year, Pierce said his favorite subject is math and when Moreno grows up he would like to be a firefighter.
When he’s away from school, Pierce plays football, baseball with his dad, and collects baseball cards. He is a Bear in the Cub Scouts.
In an effort to recognize achievements of students in the DeKalb County School System, WJLE has partnered with attorney Judkins in featuring a “Classroom Champion” each week .
The name of the student selected each week will be announced on WJLE and will be featured on the WJLE website. Each student winning will receive a plaque and a gift certificate.
“This is our way of recognizing and celebrating the achievements of the future citizens and leaders of the community. It can benefit their learning and overall school atmosphere and climate. The students’ selection is based on academic performance, responsibility and work ethic, leadership abilities, and citizenship and character,” said Judkins.
