Why are you nominating this person?
Ms. Echols was driving to CHS when the car in front of her was involved in a wreck. The CHS student got out of the car and began to have a seizure.
Ms. Echols stayed with the student and comforted them until the ambulance arrived. She then made sure the other students in the car got safely to school. She was actually every trait of a BRAVE!

At the Braves Center we have our challenges, but Mr. Brinkley shows up everyday smiling, laughing and ready to conquer the world. Every day is a new day. He jumps in and helps wherever he is needed . Most days he gets his butt handed to him - literally - time and time again. Most people would throw in the towel, but not him. We know he will show up no matter what and cheer us on. His love and dedication for our kids and team is amazing. He supports us in difficult times, listens to our frustrations, disappointments and successes. It is an honor to work beside him.

Time and time again, Mr. Aguilar shows the Traits of a Brave! He is such a special part of this district, and our students are blessed to have him. Whether he's in the classroom, at a ballgame or volunteering his time at various events--he is present and supportive of our students. He's even been known to show off his best cart wheels with the cheerleaders! Our PTO called upon him to help at our annual Bingo Night and his response was not just "yes," but "Yes, what else can I do to help?" He showed up in full Halloween gear ready for fun! We are so thankful for his generous spirit and how much he believes in every child at Edge Middle School.

Jaxson Buchanan - Humble
Nominator
Jennifer Aldridge
Which Trait was this person exhibiting?
Humble
Why are you nominating this person?
Jaxson is the perfect example of humble. Jaxson works hard at school, baseball, and basketball and excels at all three. You will never hear him boast or brag though. Instead he is continuously cheering on his teammates and friends in everything they do. This kid hit two homeruns in a single game and smiled, and went to the dugout and went straight to encouraging the next batter. He consistently checks on his friends if they are having a hard time and is always willing to help them with anything they need. He never gets involved in any situations that he feels is not geared towards positivity and redirects when he feels it's what needed. He has a great head on his shoulders and is destined for great things! He truly shows all of the traits of a Brave on a daily basis!

Easton is such a fantastic friend. With a student that was nervous about being at a new school, Easton took him under his wing, held his hand when he was anxious, and has welcomed him with open arms. He ensures he is included and feels a part of their class. Everyone needs to be like Easton!

Monday morning there were two boys that entered the building and were timid and a little hesitant to go to their classroom. A kindergarten student, Allison Cox, approached and gently grabbed them by their hands and led them to their right classroom. With this gesture Allie demonstrated generosity and humbleness as well as being a great leader. She was able to recognize that the boys needed reassurance and took action by leading them to their classroom. Way to go Allie!

Why are you nominating this person?
Isabel Tovar has put others first by offering help whenever she can. She enjoys helping her classmates with small tasks in the classroom. She mentions in her own words how she enjoys helping students clean up their stations and helps with letting them know it’s time to sit in their desk. She accepts the criticism when we let her know she sometimes needs to let students learn these behaviors on their own so they can practice instead of having her help and give directions on what to do.
She enjoys talking about the games she can play with her classmates and how she can include her friends who have different needs.
