The Crossville City Council honored 4th grader Gage Kilby from Martin Elementary School tonight as the Student of the Month.

Teachers say Gage is a helpful student who goes out of his way to make sure other people are happy. He displays kindness and concern for others by checking on them if they need assistance or encouragement. He is always the first to volunteer to come to the aid of teachers or his peers. He has a genuine interest in the well-being of others.

Crossville is a Community of Character partner. December is a caring month. Caring is understanding what others go through, not wanting others to hurt, and doing what we can to reduce their suffering.
