🎉 Congratulations to our Student of the Week, Charlee Bazzell! 🎉

Charlee, a student at Calloway County Middle School, was nominated by her 8th grade teachers, who wrote:

Meet Charlee Bazzell, The Murray Bank Student of the Week from Calloway County Middle School. Charlee is the daughter of Micah & Lauren Bazzell and was nominated by the entire 8th grade team at CCMS. Mrs. Emeline Ray, on behalf of her teachers, wrote the following about Ms. Bazzell: "Her overall kindness, responsibility, and positive attitude make her such a joy to have in class. She consistently gives her best and treats everyone with kindness."

She is a joy to be around, and does a tremendous job of finding balance. She is a great student, academically, and extends herself beyond the classroom to assist as a teacher's assistant, a member of the yearbook staff, and one of our amazing talents on the girl's softball and soccer teams.
