The Braves of the Week - November 11-15 - Braves Studio Interns
The Braves of the Week for November 11-15 are ... the Braves Studio Interns!
The Braves of the Week are a great group of students from Community High School - the interns of Braves Studio! Their names from left to right are: Marley Tipton, Cady Blair, Xander Tankersley, and Chloe Silva. According to the nomination from their teacher Mr. Tilton, these four students have put in tons of hours this year as graphics, replay, and camera operators for CISD broadcasts, and have played a big role in several videos released by our CISD Communications department. Their dedication to creating great projects and their passion for Brave Nation is evident at all times. Congrats to the Braves Studio interns on the win, and thank you Mr. Tilton for your nomination!

Passionate
Why are you nominating this person or group?
I get to work with an incredible group of kids that show their passion for design, videography, and Brave Nation every day. Faced with professional-level deadlines and expectations, our Braves Studio interns continue to find ways to excel and surpass expectations in all they do. Their hard work has played an integral role in the success of Community ISD's broadcasts this year, growing our numbers from 13,413 total viewers in 2021 and 2022 combined to 34,526 viewers just in the 2024 football season. They have also produced multiple pieces of content that I am super proud of, including our football and volleyball hype videos for this season, a theater advertisement, and "Community on Campus #2 - Do You Know?". I am privileged to get to work with these students and see them succeed so much.

Monica has a kind heart and a gentle soul. She has been a consistent source of compassion and empathy as I have walked through hard seasons. As educators we get busy and often lost in the shuffle but Monica is the type of person that makes you feel seen, loved and heard. She always greets me with a friendly smile and then takes the time to check in with me. Her encouragement and support have filled my heart on many occasions. All these wonderful characteristics make her an amazing teacher as well. The patience, kindness and compassion that she shows her students is evident in the culture of her classroom and the behavior of her students. Her students are blessed to have her as their kindergarten teacher and I am blessed to call her both a friend and colleague.
