Dylan Bryan Whiting, 12, is from Salem and attends Mt. Loafer Elementary. He was selected as the Daily Herald's Utah Valley Student of the Week.
Dylan is in Ms. Harris' sixth grade class and has excelled while he has been at Mt. Loafer for the last 1.5 years. His teachers commented that he turns in all of his homework and goes out of his way to check for missing work. They believe it is because of his work ethic that he has come so far academically. The teachers at Mt. Loafer are very proud of him.
"Often times when a student comes into my classroom feeling down or discouraged, I have seen Dylan be the first one who steps in to tell that student everything will be OK," Mrs. Bradford said. "He tells the student they can accomplish the task at hand and will lend a helping hand. Dylan is a friend to all who walk into my classroom.
"I can always count on him to make new students feel welcome and sad students feel happy again."
He plays soccer, baseball and football. Dylan especially enjoys the outdoors, hunting and fishing with his dad.
Dylan plans to graduate high school, serve a LDS mission and attend college.
