He is highly motivated and is always willing to ask for and accept help with an attitude of gratefulness. Although Mr. Cummings works primarily with the kindergarten grade level, he is loved by all of the students. He goes out of his way to include all the students of Midway Hills Primary. He is constantly making a connection with all of the students. It doesn’t matter if he sees them walking in the hallway or if he visits their classroom; he is always acknowledging each student and greeting them. His high fives and good mornings always put a big smile on the students' faces. He also serves as a mentor to many students who are having challenging behaviors. He takes the time to check in with those students and mentor them. He seems to engage students and push them to make positive changes. Mr. Cummings serves as an exceptional role model to the students of Midway Hills Primary. He also serves many of the youth of this county by serving as a baseball and football coach. Mr. Cummings is an excellent reflection of what success can look like for many of our students. He projects a positive image for both adults and children alike. He is very deserving of the Pursuit of Excellence Award. ”
