Graduate’s name

Aayden

What grade is the graduate finishing?

Kindergarten

What school is your graduating student graduating from?

Independence Elementary

How do you know your graduating student nominee?

My great-grandson

Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!

Because he is completing kindergarten and is very excited. His school won't be doing the ceremony but the school will hand out the diplomas to them and send the children on their way. I would love to help celebrate my Great-Grandson by adding his name to the Patch in a positive way.

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

Aayden is 6 years old and he is so full of wisdom to be a 6 year old. He's very articulate, smart, funny, and can hold a conversation with the best of the 6 year Olds and some adults depending on the conversation. Most of all, Aayden is a very compassionate and someone who demonstrates empathy. I've never seen a little child that reflect these two traits as Aayden. I pray his heart remains on course as he goes through life.

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