Student of the Week
Congratulations to our Student of the Week, 6th grader Kyndal Chamblee. Kyndal is the daughter of Shelly and Jason Chamblee. Kyndal was nominated by Mrs. Evans for her great outlook and work ethic. She has been outstanding in the math classroom, and Mrs. Evans is very proud of her.
When Kyndal gets out of school she hopes to become a veterinarian. Outside of school, she plays softball for CYRA. Her hobbies include painting and walking her Australian Shepard. Her favorite subject is art with Ms. Slagle. Something people may not know about her is that Kydnal says she is "really loud and crazy at home but very quiet at school". She has a brother in 3rd grade named Kason. Her mom is a 1st-grade reading aide at the elementary school. Her dad is a firefighter in Kilgore.
According to Mrs. Dawn Boyd, Canton Junior High Principal, “Getting to know Kyndal has truly been the best part of my week. It's always fun to recognize students who make good choices. The teachers did a great job when they nominated her because she represents our district well. I hope this honor encourages her and lets her know that we see her. Keep up the good work, Kyndal!
