A program of the Westland Compassionate City Committee and the Wayne-Westland Community Schools, the three winners were Liam Craig of Schweitzer Elementary, Daylen Bell of Taft-Galloway Elementary, and Ja'Cion Barnett-Robinson of Walker-Winter Elementary.
Craig is constantly a shining star in class, according to his nomination, and he goes above and beyond what is asked and helps others with whatever they need. Craig is a constant leader and doing the right thing, his teacher said. He will play with students at recess who don't have someone to play with and is constantly looking out for his friends and classmates to ensure that they are safe, his nomination form stated.
Bell takes it upon himself to clean up the classroom floor without being asked by the teacher and is a great friend, an awesome student and a wonderful son, according to his nomination.
Barnett-Robinson has earned more cards for kindness than any other student at Walker-Winter, his nomination form explained. From offering some of his food to another student that didn't have anything, to taking initiative and helping others around the classroom without being asked, Barnett-Robinson has been kind, caring, and compassionate during his attendance at Walker-Winter school.
Council representatives thanked the students, parents, teachers and faculty members who have participated in the program.
