Noah Flores has been an outstanding student here at Freedom Elementary. He is smart, kind, helpful, and so fun to be around. He is a very hard worker who loves to read. You often see him with a book in his hand. Noah’s teachers describe him as a model student and admire his ability to challenge himself and work through whatever problem comes his way. In his free time Noah enjoys soccer, swimming, and skating. During this pandemic he enjoyed learning in the comfort of his own home and doing things at his own pace. Noah says this opportunity to stay home and work allowed him to see what it would be like as a teenager and having to grow your own study habits. Noah has always seen the positive side of every situation. His friends are drawn to his ability to compromise and think win win. He is an outstanding leader and we couldn’t be more proud of him.
