Praise is always ready for whatever is "next" whether that means he is ready for the next academic lesson, or the next new idea. He is cheerful and encourages others to be positive in their attitude as well. He often reaches out to help others, and does not complain when something is difficult. He is genuine about his opinions but seems to willingly do what is needed even if it is less interesting then other activities. His hopeful manner creates a very positive classroom.

Ariele is new to St. Anthony and has been working hard to learn all of our places and procedures. She is eager to learn and tries hard to listen and do the right thing. Recently, she was seen taking the time to explain an assignment to a fellow student and encouraging that student to keep going with their work. She waits for her turn instead of running ahead to be "first," and she often patiently waits for an answer to her questions in class. She is a great student to have in the classroom.
