This is Jacob Reigel! He’s 7 years old and in the second grade. He is loving school this year especially being in class with his buddy Sam Spalding. Jacob loves to sing, dance, and act. He’s a huge fan of Fall Out Boy, minions, and any movie that has singing and dancing. He loves hanging out with his big brother Jaxon who is also very much a kindness warrior. He says hi to everyone, loves hugs, and always wants to help. He is practically fearless except dogs if they’re too close, but he loves them otherwise. He’s a perfect gentleman who always holds doors and carries groceries for his mom. He loves hats and dressing up when he goes out. He’s strong, independent and so loving!
