How do you know your graduating student nominee?

My son

Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!

Easton is so resilient and responsible, and I couldn't be more proud of him! Every single morning without fail, he wakes himself up (earlier than he even needs to), gets himself ready, makes breakfast, packs his lunch, does all the things. Sometimes he even has to wake me up! He also goes out of his way on weekends to do whatever he can to make money and work, at just 13 years old. This includes washing windows in the neighborhood, walking dogs, etc. The accountability in this kid is admirable. He worked so hard to get honor roll, and achieved it!

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your graduating student nominee?

He is the most resilient, accountable, joyful, bright kid - and is a friend to everyone!

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Easton!
