Student of the Month Recognition Write-Up

## CONTEXT
Student recognition builds confidence and reinforces positive behavior when it is specific and sincere. A vague good student note means little; a write-up that names what the student did and why it matters can shape how they see themselves. This prompt creates a recognition piece appropriate for a newsletter, certificate, or assembly.
