We are excited to present 5th grader Layne Zepeda as the Fine Arts Academy at Olympia’s Superintendent’s Shining Star!
Layne kicks off each day with a smile and a can-do attitude that’s contagious. He’s not just working hard in class, he’s thriving! Layne gives his best effort every day, stays focused on his goals, and lifts up those around him with his positive energy.
He’s a true example of JISD Leadership in action:
- He treats everyone with kindness and respect 
- He plans for success by staying committed to his learning 
- He invests in people by being a role model to his peers 
Whether he’s helping a classmate or diving into a new challenge, Layne shows us what leadership looks like!
When he’s not in school, Layne loves playing Roblox where he can use his creativity in a fun way!
Congratulations, Layne! Keep making Olympia proud!
