Aaron’s Sales and Lease Student of the Week 5 December 2014
The Aaron’s Sales and Lease Student of the week for 5 December 2014 is Madison Armstrong. Madison is in fifth grade at Deerfield Elementary School in Coffee County. She is the daughter of proud parents Kim and Chris. She was nominated for this award because she is academically minded, an excellent student and helpful to all classmates and teachers. She plays basketball for her school and her favorite subject is science because she enjoys learning about the ecosystem and animals. Appropriately, she plans to be a veterinarian or dog trainer when she gets older. Madison was presented with a plaque (courtesy of K&S Trophies of Tullahoma) and a set of tickets to an up-coming Nashville Predators game. Congratulations to Madison Armstrong, the Aaron’s Sales and Lease Student of the Week.
