And she's a pretty amazing student.
And she deserves all the all the accolades.
Am so proud of you.
So you're one of three students in the Clark County School District.
I had an opportunity to come in and just celebrate your your reading gains on the map growth assessment.
So really proud of that.
So tell me, how did you do it?
I, I like to read and I and I always, like, sign off my apple cart before I go to bed.
And in the morning as they're handing me ready, I'll go and get my book on my backpack and I'll read a couple, a couple chapters.
So tell me about your teacher, because you have an amazing teacher.
You're in an amazing school.
So tell me about that.
He's great and I love to be in his class.
She's just one of those kids who does her homework all the time.
And and I was always asking questions.
And she's a really special girl.
I know it meant a lot to everybody in the class.
They always feel like they're a part of, you know, other people's successes.
So you have an opportunity right now, a message to all the kids in Clark County, all the community.
