Mattie Wilson has been selected as the Golden Rule student of the month for November. Here is what her teacher said about her:

Mattie Wilson is the kind of student who demonstrates the Golden Rule through her actions without ever being asked. She is a true go-getter who sees what needs to be done and steps up to do it, but what makes Mattie especially deserving of this recognition is how often she uses that initiative to help the people around her. 

Mattie has taken on a major leadership role with our school news program. She is dependable, enthusiastic, and willing to take on just about anything that is needed to make our program successful. She regularly makes sure other students know what is going on, understand what they need to do, and feel included. Mattie's instinct is to help them rather than simply worry about herself.  She has become someone her classmates can depend on.  She brings a positive attitude with her and is willing to do the extra things that are not necessarily required of her. Mattie is also an excellent example of leadership because she understands that being a leader is not about being in charge; it is about taking care of the people around you.  She leads by being dependable, helpful, encouraging, and kind.

The Golden Rule asks us to treat others the way we would want to be treated, and I cannot think of a better description of the way Mattie carries herself. She makes our classroom, our school news program, and Glynn Academy better because she is part of them.
