State Representative James F.
“I choose to Be Strong in my school and community by helping everyone feel they’re loved and cared for ’cause everyone deserves to know someone is watching out for them and someone will stand up for them whenever they need it.”
– James
Why James was Nominated:
James is a polite, humble individual. He is the oldest of four kids. I have known Jimmy most of his life and been his school counselor for four years. For someone that has overcome severe allergies, a hand deformity, and cancer in his family, he has the biggest heart of any 11 year old I know. If someone is struggling, he is there with an open mind and ear. He is willing to help anyone with anything. Spending time with his family is very important to Jimmy. He loves riding bikes around town and going fishing with them. When a new student arrives at our school, Jimmy is one of the first to include the student in activities. He works hard at school and at home. Jimmy loves to participate in our After School Program, help the younger ones with their homework, and encourages them to try new activities.
