Name:  Hassani Bruton, Sixth Grade

Parent: Yolanda Pindegayosh

Sibling: Alex Dawson

Comments:  Looking for an athletic, social, and witty sixth grade student?  Well, look no further. Hassani is just that. Hassani is on his game both on and off the court.  He keeps Mrs. Bagaason on her toes and keeps his classmates laughing. If you can keep up with him, you will often find him cruising on the keys or navigating the web.  He is a technology whiz and a master multi-tasker (...and as of today, his desk is even clean!) What more could a teacher ask for?
