Dallas Barrett

Second Grade, Bunche Park Elementary

Dallas is a kind and caring student who always makes sure to include everyone. Recently after school, while a group of students were waiting to be picked up by their parents, the students decided to play a game. Unfortunately, one of the students in the group wanted to exclude another student because they were autistic. Dallas took a stand for the autistic student, defended the student, and expressed that it was not right to exclude that student from the game. Thanks to Dallas, the autistic student was not left out and was able to be part of the game. Her decision to intervene taught her peers the importance of being inclusive and her kindness had a great impact on the autistic student. Dallas is an exemplary Honor Roll student and a great role model for her peers to follow.
