Mat-Su Borough School District Student of the Week

Addison Behrens

5th grade, Birchtree Charter School

Nominated by teacher Amy Vander Schrier

Addison Behrens is a high achiever in all areas during the school day. She strives to make others smile and is dedicated to helping others she interacts with. Addison has voluntarily been assisting me during her recess for over a year now to help with the students in my class during that time. She always has a smile to offer her peers. Because of this, the students in my class adore her and I appreciate her extra helping hands.

Addison gives up morning drop off time to practice her music with the Orchestra Teacher. During a recent Archery Unit, she had multiple bullseyes! She was extremely patient and took her time to focus on her stance and shot. Addison earned a Birchtree Charter first with a Robinhood shot due to hitting the same spot on the target another arrow was already at! Addison deserves recognition for all her achievements, and especially for the joy she spreads throughout Birchtree Charter School.
