Fifth-grade teacher Mrs. Whitfield says, "Johnny is one of the best example of a gentleman I've ever had as a teacher! He is so thoughtful of the other students and adults. He goes out of his way to help his peers. He will offer to help if anyone needs it. He even waits for me to enter or pass when he is near."
