She is willing, cooperates well with others, keeps a good attitude, and is motivated to do her best. Landree is a friend to all, has an enormous heart, is a generous person, and genuinely cares for others. Teachers, peers, and younger students are blessed by knowing and being around Landree." Congratulations, Landree!
