Renda Songer deserves to be chosen as the *Brag on a Brave* weekly winner for her thoughtful and generous initiative in allowing her cosmetology students to give back to former teachers. By providing students with the opportunity to treat a past educator to a salon service, she not only enhances their hands-on learning experience but also fosters gratitude and appreciation for those who have made an impact in their lives.

Humble
Why are you nominating this person?
Kelvin showed humility and wisdom on Feb. 12 at the football parent meeting with Coach Arteaga. At the end of the meeting, another student knocked over a drink and spilled it in the auditorium. Without missing a beat, Kelvin came over to a group of administrators and asked for paper towels so he could clean it up.
Kelvin cleaned up the mess quickly and professionally. Thank you for taking pride in your campus and doing the right thing!
