He was selected by Ms. Thompson.
"Maurice has made an effort to befriend and mentor my sixth graders. Anytime he sees me talking to any of my students in the hallway, he stops and visits with them. He doesn't hesitate to give them a high-five or tell them to have a good day. He stops by after school to help coach UIL at least once a week. He will work with 6th, 7th, or 8th graders. It doesn't matter to him who he works with. He just wants to help!"
This is Maurice's second award this school year!! This is an incredible accomplishment and we are extremely proud of him! Go, Maurice!!!

Join the cause with the American Heart Association.
Did you know that more than 350,000 cardiac arrests happen outside of hospitals each year? That’s about the same number of people who visit Disneyland in a week!
When cardiac arrests happen outside a hospital, they often require a bystander to step in and help. That’s why we are participating in 1 Week to Save a Life with the American Heart Association—to empower students with lifesaving skills.
Students are encouraged to sign up and complete the 7 lifesaving steps in Finn’s Mission. Through this experience, they’ll learn critical skills and gain the confidence to act in an emergency.
Go to www.heart.org/schools for more information or to register.
