Each month the grade school selects two students, one from kindergarten through fourth grades, and one from fifth through eighth grades, who best demonstrate a good attitude, respect for others, dependability, hard work, volunteerism, honesty, trustworthiness and leadership.

Each student receives a Student of the Month certificate and will have their picture on display in the main hallway at Cornell Grade School.
