Aiden Pupo

Second Grade, Venetian Parc Academy
Rapids Waterpark Trip Winner

Despite his young age, Aiden is a student who consistently demonstrates outstanding character and a commitment to doing what is right. Recently during recess, Aiden discovered a lighter on the school playground. Recognizing the serious safety risk this item posed, he did not hesitate. Instead of hiding it or trying to play with it, he immediately brought the lighter to the nearest supervising adult and turned it in. Aiden’s decision to proactively remove a dangerous item from the school environment and report it is a clear example of prioritizing safety and upholding school rules, even when it might have been easier to ignore the situation. At a young age, Aiden displayed exceptional maturity, responsibility, and a commitment to school safety.
