March Hero of the Month
K- 6TH GRADE HERO:
Mira Coday is a 2nd grader at Bonny Slope Elementary School. Mira loves helping younger kids in her school. In one class, she’s been seen sacrificing her own enjoyment to make sure younger kindergarten and 1st grade students understand the instructions. I love how she is so focused on younger students and wants to make sure that they are having a great time. I asked her once why she helps the younger kids once, and she said: “I was young once, and I just want to make sure the younger kids have a good time.”
