Parents: Cedrik and Vanessa Gustafson Siblings: Brody and Stella    

Comments:  “Quincy always comes to school with a positive attitude and an eagerness for learning. He is a good example to all as he follows directions quickly and is very respectful. I love hearing him share his deep knowledge of jets with us! His classmates voted for him to be our Student of the Month. They seem to appreciate his kindness and good manners as much as I do. One student remarked, “I like Quincy because he is kind to everyone.” Another said, “I like Quincy because he works hard and cleans up after playtime, even if he didn’t make the mess!” Congratulations, Quincy!”
