Name: Elijah Monahan
Age: 11
Grade: 5th
School: Newton San Jose

Teacher Comment: “Elijah is a fifth grader who transitioned from Red Group (lower elementary) to Green Group (upper (elementary) this fall. Elijah surprised his teachers with a very smooth transition and he was able to keep up with his new older peers. He particularly likes social studies, math, PE, “trioramas” and fun science projects. Elijah continues to improve in his classwork and behavior to this day. Elijah was student of the week twice this spring!! He tries his best at all times and his joy can be contagious when he celebrates a success. Super job Elijah!!!” – Ms. Kathy Tregembo
