Brave of the Week - Veronica Conley - November 10-14
Nomination from Jackie Morovick, CISD Finance:
I want to nominate Veronica Conley for Brave of the Week. She exhibits all the traits of a Brave. She is generous with her time, always ready to help others. Passionate about all she does to support everyone in Brave Nation. She's humble and doesn't realize how absolutely amazing she is. Lastly, she is so wise.
She has transitioned smoothly into her role as an Accounts Payable Specialist. She has learned the policies and procedures so quickly. Her professionalism when dealing with Vendors and Staff is delightful. She is always willing to help anyone with anything, not just within our Finance Office but district-wide. All of the things she does, she does with a smile on her face, never complains, and shares her quick wit and humor. She is a blessing as both a teammate and a member of Brave Nation!
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.

Stacy Romo
Nominator
Danay Freeman-Moore
Which Trait was this person exhibiting?
Passionate
Why are you nominating this person?
Mrs. Romo is one of the people who students nor parents may always enjoy but her role is a vital one. She is one of the assistant principals at Edge Middle School, and is in charge of behaviors.
We are currently teaching my son how to transition from life skills to inclusion and hopefully by the end of the year resource. If you know my son, you may already love him, he has those big doe eyes and can get you to buy ice from an Eskimo.
Mrs. Romo has been working with me and his teachers to get him to the place where he needs to be, I see her doing this not only with my son and his special needs, but all the children. I have nominated her because far often we usually forget about those admin who make these tough decisions to better our school, and help guide our children to become functional members of society.
She is always with a smile on her face, and giving hugs to those who may need it, but when correction is needed she will also make sure to do so.
She is a GREAT leader!
