Mike Lott TKS Student of the Year Award (2023-24)

The Kessler School is proud to announce that Hayes Donner has been named the Mike Lott Student of the Year for the 2023-24 school year. This prestigious award, created in 2017 to honor the legacy of Mike Lott, recognizes a student who exemplifies the values of kindness, integrity, and dedication—qualities that were central to Mike Lott's life and impact on our community.

Now a 4th grader, Hayes has made an indelible mark at TKS. He’s not only a star soccer player but is also venturing into baseball and enjoys building airplanes in his spare time. His love for science fuels his curiosity and passion for learning, making it his favorite subject.

But it’s Hayes' character that truly sets him apart. Known by both his peers and teachers as consistently kind, respectful, and helpful, Hayes embodies the spirit of the House of Integrity, to which he belongs. His actions speak volumes, and his enthusiasm for everything about TKS shines through.

We are incredibly proud of the young leader Hayes has become. Congratulations, Hayes, on this well-deserved recognition. We can’t wait to see all that you accomplish in the future!
