The Jesse Isabelle Spirit Award is to
recognize a child with great passion and spirit in
memory of Jesse Isabelle, whose life ended too soon in
June of 2006. He was a beloved son, brother, and
uncle of the Sheehan/Isabelle family. He attended
Perkins School for the Blind during 2005-2006, one of
the happiest years of his life. It was a time of
discovering independence, creating true friendship and
living his life to the fullest. Jesse touched so
many lives, and one of his ways really came to life
through his spirited enthusiasm for his beloved Red Sox.
Nick Klayman
was chosen as the winner for the 2011 Spirit Award!!!

Nick Klayman (11 nominations)
The
one and only student I thought of for this award is
Nick.
I nominate Nick Klayman for the Jesse Isabelle Spirit
Award because he has the virtues that Jesse had--- he is
always enthusiastic, positive and friendly when he comes
to deliver newspaper to us.
He always greets us by our names, gives us a big smile
and very so often sings to us!!!!
He’s just that type of student who I don’t really know
that well, but he always leaves our room making my
students and staff members happy.
He’s a student who’s clearly got spirit and spunk, just
like Jesse. I think he deserves to win this award!
Nicholas is a charming, joyful, always positive young
man.
He
has the ability to brighten up the day of those who are
lucky enough to spend time with him.
Nicholas
enjoys bowling, but what Nicholas really loves to do is
to cheer for others.

“from the positive attitude I have
seen him exhibit at Health Services.”

engages both staff and peers in a respectful
