Jacob received the award for his hard work in the classroom, perseverance with his school work, for always giving his best effort and for embodying kindness in all he does. Jacob is an 11 year old 5th grader with Fragile X Syndrome, he works hard in all he does and he is becoming a self advocate for himself. He will share his Fragile X Diagnosis with others openly.
