Wise
Why are you nominating this person?
This past weekend we had a small grease fire at our house. All of the smoke detectors starting going off. The fire was contained quickly but the house filled with smoke. Brody immediately came out of his room, staying low, because in his own words, "Mom, stay low because heat rises and the fresh air is lower"! He called for the animals and went straight for the front door and was heading to the neighbor's house to call 911. He made it to the driveway by the time I was able to tell him the fire was out and everything was okay. He stayed calm and did exactly what he was taught in case of a fire. I was beyond proud of him. We talked afterwards about different scenarios and it amazed me how prepared he was in any given situation.

Nominator
Jose Morataya
Which Trait was this person exhibiting?
Passionate
Why are you nominating this person?
It is imperative to recognize those who work silently and are not as loud as others. Their work always portraits on how their students behave, work and interact with a teacher.
Ms. Loredo although is very kept to herself and quiet at times shows how passionate she is about her work and her and the success if her students.
Ms. Loredo is for sure a Brave to Brag about.
