Za'riyah Gilmore
Nomination from Ms. Stephanie Keese, Community High School educator:
"Za'riyah came into the classroom and found cash sitting at a desk. She told me about it and asked who was sitting at the desk in the previous period. She wanted to know who the cash belonged to and plans to return it to them. I thought her honesty was very generous."
Don’t forget to nominate a Brave for next week's honors! We reveal our winner on the Community ISD Facebook page and here on our website every Thursday at 8 a.m.
