We had an unforgettable morning at Darnell Elementary School with the CCSD Engagement Unit. We brought custom Pinkbox Doughnuts and some even sweeter news for Mrs. Janette’s fifth grade class. Every student is going to the Vegas Golden Knights home game on October 3.
To make the experience even more memorable, Mrs. Janette will also ride the Adam Kutner Zamboni during the game. This once in a lifetime opportunity celebrates her incredible dedication to her students.
Why This Class Was Chosen
As part of the Adam S. Kutner Community Champion Award program, we invited CCSD staff to nominate deserving classes and teachers for this prize. Mrs. Janette’s nomination stood out right away:
“Our 5th graders are amazing! We have 120 5th grade friends this year! The growth these incoming 5th graders showed from 4th to 5th was huge! Our Reading and Math scores showed the most growth out of all the CCSD Elementary schools! That’s GRIT! The past 7 years my Spread Kindness campaign to honor the Vegas 58 has been in place at Cadwallader MS. The 8th grade artists create life sized angel wings in honor of all 58 angels. The gallery opens on Oct. 1 each year to the community! Healing!”
Her words reflect not only the academic achievements of her students but also the compassion and resilience that she fosters in her classroom and community.
Celebrating Grit and Kindness
From academic growth to community impact, this fifth grade class truly represents what it means to be champions. Their hard work, spirit, and kindness remind us why recognizing educators and students is so important.
Congratulations to Mrs. Janette and all of her students. Enjoy the game, and as always:
Go Knights Go! 🏒✨
