His advice to his others is, “Take ownership for your actions. Do things when you are told to do them and turn your work in on time.” Alex feel education is important because the more education you have the better your pay and it determines how successful you will be in life.

STUDENT OF THE MONTH: Isabella Aufforth
Isabella Aufforth, daughter of JR Aufforth and Miranda Aufforth, was chosen as the student of the month for Bowbells Elementary by her teacher. “Isabella has been rocking 2nd grade so far. Not only has she worked super hard with her academics, she has also been a great role model in class. She is very independent, and you can always rely on her to tell the truth. She is an amazing helper and hard worker,” reported her teacher, Mrs. Hass. Isabella was chosen because she is a responsible student. Isabella described, “Being responsible is important so you don’t lose your things.” She advised others to “do things without being asked.” Isabella enjoys coming to school to see her friends. She wants to learn so she can become a doctor one day. When Isabella is not in school, she enjoys having a sleepover at Peyton’s house. Isabella is in the second grade.
