Accomplishments: Leslie Williams, an ESOL teacher at State Bridge Crossing Elementary School, nominated Youngsoo Bae as this week's Whiz Kid. "[The 6-year-old] has this ability to light up my day by the stories he tells and the permanent smile on his face," Williams says. "He is an outstanding student who always comes to class ready to do his best. He always has factual information to share with our class on things we are studying. In addition, I constantly have other teachers asking me about him because he is always smiling. He is just a likable child who puts others before he puts himself. I remember banging my foot into a desk and Youngsoo got down on the floor to see if my foot was OK. I look forward to teaching him and am proud of the gains he has made!"
