The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) recently honored John M. Clayton Elementary fifth grader, Jaleigha Johnson, for her leadership, effort, and excellence. Jaleigha was recognized in a ceremony at the school and received a $20 bookstore gift card.
According to her teachers, Jaleigha is an exceptional student who consistently demonstrates what it means to be a dedicated learner. She is a very hard worker who puts maximum effort into everything she does. She takes responsibility for her own learning by asking thoughtful questions and seeking help when needed. Jaleigha is a model student who always shows respect, maturity, and self-control. She works diligently on staying organized and takes great pride in doing her best. Jaleigha is truly a pleasure to have in class.
