The Brave of the Week - November 4-8 - Edge MS Staff & CHS Fine Arts
The Brave of the Week for November 4-8 is ... Edge MS Staff and CHS Fine Arts!
Our Brave of the Week award for November 4-8 is once again a group win, with the staff of Edge Middle School earning the honor, as well as the band, color guard, and theater directors at the high school. In her nomination, Mrs. Alicia Short wrote that the entire staff of Edge Middle School has shown my family so much love and support, sending cards, emails, texts, and Facebook messages, along with food, flowers, and financial support that made life so much easier. The band, color guard, and theater directors made sure we had groceries while Jacob was in hospice, made sure a field trip was paid for, and provided comfort to our kids on countless occasions. Thank you so much to these awesome Braves for being so generous, and thank you Mrs. Short for your nomination!

Why are you nominating this person or group?
I want to brag on the entire staff of Edge Middle School. From the time Jacob went into the hospital in August up until now weeks after he passed the entire staff has shown my family so much love and support. They have sent cards, emails, text and Facebook messages along with gift cards that we were able to use while visiting him in the hospital. We have had meals and flowers randomly show up on our porch and it really has made this time in our lives so much easier.
I also want to brag on the band directors, color guard director and theater director at the high school. When I couldn’t say what help I needed they took it upon themselves to order groceries for us while Jacob was on hospice so we would have one less thing to worry about. One of the things I forgot about was Landon’s fine arts trip that needed to be paid for the Ms. Wilson reached out to staff and shared what happened with parents in and out of the district and within a few days Landon’s trip was completely paid off and then some. The day Jacob passed Michelle wanted to go to band rehearsal she wanted to do something to help keep her mind off of things. When we got to rehearsal that night Ms Dawson met me at my car with blankets for all 3 kids she had reached out to a group and had them donated.
I cannot imagine how much harder this time in our lives would have been without these amazing people who have supported us in the district.
They really have made this transition to our new normal much easier for us.

Mrs. Webb has been so helpful since day one & our family is so grateful for her! Our first day as a Community family, she saw that we needed help at pick up time. She got her section covered and personally helped us get to our kids and from that day on, she's been someone we can count on. She is never too busy to help and always makes sure that students and families are taken care of. She is more than just a teacher & her passion radiates in her everyday actions. Mrs. Webb is always on a mission to get something handled yet she always makes time to say hello, give a wave, or ask if we need any help. She has a positive energy that is contagious and puts our minds at ease as parents leaving our kids at school. We can't thank her enough for all that she's done & will continue to do!

Alex was up in the office waiting patiently for some clothes to change into from his costume. A pre k teacher came up to office with her student and the student asked Alex what he was (Captain America) and Alex talked to him about being a hero and how he had to behave in class and even let him touch the muscles on his costume. Thank you Alex for using your Traits of a Brave!
