Knox Kelley
Grade: 3rd Grade
Area of Recognition: Kindness & Responsibility
I'm a WaveMaker because...
It is my pleasure to recommend Knox Kelley for WaveMaker. He consistently demonstrates an
outstanding attitude and commitment to our classroom.
Knox actively participates in every activity and discussion, bringing enthusiasm and thoughtful
ideas that enrich our class environment. Beyond academics, he goes above and beyond to help
others, always offering encouragement and assistance to classmates who may be struggling.
What truly sets Knox apart is his kindness and sense of responsibility. Each day he comes to my
class, he takes the time to clean up any messes left behind by others and ensures that all the
chairs are pushed in before leaving. This small but meaningful act makes a huge difference to me
and reflects his strong character and genuine care for others and his school. He is a positive light
in our classroom, and we are lucky to have him as part of our school community. He is an
excellent role model for peers and a truly deserving recipient of WaveMaker!
