Audrey Fisher - 9th Grade
Nominating Teacher: Mrs. Andria Johnson
Mrs. Johnson wrote, “Audrey has shown responsibility through communication and diligence in her completion of assignments. She consistently enters the classroom with an upbeat attitude that creates an environment conducive to learning. Audrey has demonstrated pride in her school community with her participation in every spirit day, and her warmth makes her approachable to her peers. I'm sure she will distinguish herself in future years at LM and become a recognizable figure on campus.”
Christian Cook - 10th Grade
Nominating Teacher: Ms. Katie Tsai
Ms. Tsai wrote, “Chris has had perfect attendance since Day 1. No tardies to my class either. Chris had the 5th highest score in the class on our first quiz. Chris has done all of his homework and classwork on time. More importantly, Chris shows up to class every day with a positive attitude. He is attentive, prepared, and engaged. He helps out his classmates, even if he's not immediately friends with them. He's a positive role model for all students in the class. I know I can always count on Chris to do the right thing, even if the right thing is difficult!”
Charlie Welgs - 11th Grade
Nominating Teachers: Mr. Joe Augustine and Mrs. Samantha Parks
Coach Augustine wrote, “Charlie has defined what an all-around student should be. He has demonstrated success in the classroom as well as in the community with outreach in the special education community as well as helping a young child who was being bullied. He is a role model of encompassing academics, athletics, and a social responsibility that more of our students should take as a priority.”
Mrs. Parks wrote, “Charlie continues to go above and beyond. He expresses gratitude to the athletic office personnel, the officials, and the operations crew at every football game without thinking – it is natural of him to conduct himself in that manner. He accepts special education students with ease, as if they are no different than anyone else in the building. He goes out of his way to say hi to the special education crew and while that seems minimal, it has a major impact on our students who feel invisible in the building at times. Charlie takes time out of his evenings to encourage youth who have been bullied to continue playing football. His calm nature and sense of humor is great to be around in general.”
Samira Rafide Isen - 12th Grade
Nominating Counselor: Mr. Eli Skinner
Mr. Skinner wrote, “Samira exemplifies our ACES expectations. She is trustworthy, hardworking, always has a positive attitude, excels in the classroom, and is a standout goalie on LM's field hockey team.”
