Zahyire Lear is 10 years old and is currently a 5th grader at Annistown Elementary. He recently moved from California to Georgia with his mother, stepfather and younger brother. He enjoys spending time with family, playing sports, dancing and of course playing Fortnite. Prior to moving to Georgia he was awarded student of the month several times and was also a part of various clubs at school aimed towards bringing students together and preventing exclusion and bullying. After enrolling in Annistown Elementary he quickly made new friends and was even nominated to join the Distinguished Gentlemen’s Club as well as the schools Advanced Art program. Aside from receiving great feedback about his overall behavior and academic performance he was also tested for what is known as the Gifted program. After returning from winter break he received the great news that he has now been accepted into the Gifted program. He has since shared this great news with friends and family back in California. “As a family we are very proud of Zahyire and all of his recent accomplishments. We are very grateful for the Shiloh Athletic Association (SAA) because they have provided a safe and fun environment for him to make friends and build a bond with his coaches and teammates. Shiloh Athletic Association has allowed him to showcase his athletic skills as well as learn the value of teamwork. We are happy to be apart of SAA and can’t wait to share more good news in the future.”
