Eight year old Jackson Graye lives in Millstone Township. He attends the Millstone Elementary School. He loves to go to school and loves his new third grade teacher, Mrs. Marino. He thinks that she is very nice. He also likes seeing his friends at school. His favorite subjects are art and music, but he also likes recess and gym, as well.

If you have a child, friend, sibling, that you would like to see get some recognition for being a great student, I would love to put them in as Student of the Month. You don’t have to get straight A’s. What you need is to show an enthusiasm for learning and a love for your school. Please email me at: crescent671@gmail.com. Each year Jackson picks a Christmas tree from his Grandpa’s Christmas tree farm, and it helps make the house look and smell so beautiful. Jackson loves Christmas Eve and Christmas Day most of all, because he gets to spend time with his family, and he gets lots of presents and good food to eat. His favorite foods to eat are anything with Pasta! He loves pumpkin bread, and pumpkin seeds, and all fruit, especially Peaches, Mangos, Raspberries and Pears. If he had but one wish, he would wish to go back on another Disney Cruise. Jackson is super creative with a great imagination, and he is a great friend to others. His mom is very proud of him. When Jackson grows up, he would like to be an author/ illustrator for graphic novels, and also the lead guitarist in a rock band. Keep up the great work in school Jackson and stay as creative as you are!!!! Jackson is a very good student and always does well in school. He excels at reading! Jackson started writing his own graphic novels earlier this year about ‘Among Us Characters.’ He was inspired by Dav Pilkey, author of the Captain Underpants and Dog Man series, and also Pilkey’s original series called T. Pus, about the character that is half T. Rex and half octopus. Jackson loves music. He loves Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles. His favorite books he loves to read at the moment are anything by Dav Pilkey, and also anything in the I Survived Series, Minecraft Woodsword Chronicles, Timmy Failure Series, the 13 Story Treehouse Series, and the Bad Guys Series. Can you tell that Jackson loves to read! His favorite TV shows are Sponge Bob Squarepants, The Patrick Star Show, and Lego Masters. Jackson’s favorite songs are from the musical Hamilton, and anything by the Beatles. His favorite musicals are by Lin Manuel Miranda- Hamilton, and In the Heights. Last year Jackson designed a t-shirt and sent in to Lin Manuel, and he received the t-shirt back with an autograph- he loves this shirt! His hobbies include playing the guitar and the Keyboard, building Lego’s, reading, and writing and illustrating graphic novels. He loves baseball and basketball, and is a big fan of the Yankees and the 76ers. He also enjoys playing outside, and going for hikes. He builds a lot of LEGO and loves to create on Minecraft. In the summer he goes to Frogbridge. This year was his fifth sum- mer there, and he loves it, especially zip lining and playing GAGA. His favorite places to visit are Disney and South Carolina. Jackson lives in Millstone with his mom, and he has a lot of furry siblings. His grandparents live down the street and they visit often and help out a lot. He is very close with his 95 year old Nanny, and he adores his many cousins. Jackson loves animals, and is a huge help with all of his pets. That includes Cody, a 12 year old chocolate Labradoodle, Sadie, an 11 year old black Labradoodle, and a 4 year old domestic shorthair, tuxedo cat named Cookie. Jackson also helps foster kittens through Lucky Lives Cat Rescue in Allentown, and currently has three kittens staying with them until they find a forever home. Jackson named these kittens, Rosie, Iris and Poppy. Jackson loves the time of year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. He loves eating turkey and Thanksgiving dinner with all his family and cousins, and gets super excited because that’s the night his elf comes. His elf, Donnie, stays until Christmas Day, and visits each morning cre- ating, magic, some mischief and a lot of Christmas spirit. Jackson Graye
