LISD Star Students
Great Behavior in the Classroom - December 10, 2007
Livingston High School
I want to recognize Hillary Bookman for being a star student not only because she does excellent work and maintains a high average in my classroom but also because she is well-behaved, studious, and quiet in a classroom that can be chaotic and loud. She is always on task whenever others around her are not. I expect to hear great things about Hillary in her future.

Livingston High School
How many of you have seen the students on the sidelines at the football games carrying the Livingston Flag? One of these students is Decil Burns. Decil is a senior who helps the Life Skills Class. He is very kind and considerate of students with special needs. Decil volunteers in the classroom and assists these students in fitting into the high school mainstream by helping them with high school activities like carrying the Livingston flag at the football games. Decil is a great friend to have. I wanted to recognize him as a star student for the LHS campus!
