CHARACTER IN ACTION:  Rhett Bacak , second-grader in Ms. Bramblett's class was recently presented the “Character In Action” award from Lee County Family Court Judge Mike Fellows for being a leader at Cary Woods Elementary school! Rhett was honored by showing good leadership qualities and exuding positive character. 
"Rhett consistently goes above and beyond everyday expectations through his actions and choices. He demonstrates strong integrity by doing the right thing even when no one is watching. Rhett is often observed helping classmates who are struggling, offering encouragement, and stepping in to assist without being asked. He does not seek recognition or praise for his actions; instead, he helps simply because he notices a need and wants to make things better for others. These qualities led to Rhett being selected as a Peer Helper, a role he takes seriously and fulfills with care and maturity. Rhett shows responsibility, kindness, and leadership in both academic and social settings, and his positive attitude sets a powerful example for his peers. His actions make our classroom a more supportive and caring place."
