Student of the Month: 3rd grader Remington Christie strives to do his best

by Cindy Lance  

Remington Christie is 8 years old and going into the third grade at Stockbridge Smith Elementary. This kind and energetic young man is the oldest child of Molly and James Christie, and has two younger sisters. He has attended Stockbridge Schools since pre-kindergarten, and loves to see his friends in school. A highlight of Christie’s academic experience so far was the school field trip to the Dewey School. He also loves math and strives always to do his best. He says he feels it is very important for him to do well in school, so he can attend a good college. 

When Remington becomes an adult, he hopes to pursue a career as a farmer or  professional athlete. He loves to hunt, play basketball and football. His most recent accomplishment was killing his first turkey. Christie says his dad has influenced his young life in teaching him “to work hard.” He believes in being kind to others and it appears that he turns his beliefs into action.
