Mr. Brad Schmidt, Mathematics Teacher
Nominated by: Ms. Komar/ Mr. Prewitt
 
“It [being teacher of the month] means that I was noticed for doing the things that I think everyone else does, but just wasn’t noticed for,” said Brad Schmidt, a Freshman Academy mathematics teacher.  “I think it’s nice to be recognized, but I just wish more would be recognized for the the stuff they do.”
 
“It [being student of the month] feels nice. It feels that I achieved goals in life, brought people happiness and brought my strengths to the highest ability of their being,” said Ariel Davenport.
 
“Just be nice! Be nice to your teachers, pay attention, help others when they need help, and stay focused on your studies,” said Henry Parworth.
 
“It [being student of the month] makes me feel really good. I wasn’t expecting it so I really feel like I’m the student of the month,” said Tasheanna McKinney.
