Most Valuable Knight
I see Mr. Knagg several times a day and it never matters what is going on with him or around him--he's always cool and calm. He's great with his students and always has a kind word to say.Cody is always patient and kind with his students. I enjoy seeing him with the students. He always has a smile for everyone. Cody is amazing, patient, and has a heart of gold. I love watching his kindness as he interacts with the students. I love his positive attitude and how patient he is with his students. He is so caring and kind with them! When I was having a difficult time in the hallway, he gave me a supportive smile when I really needed one!
