It is with great enthusiasm that I nominate Damon Bretthauer for Student of the Month. Damon consistently demonstrates leadership, positivity, and a strong sense of community that uplifts his entire 9th grade homeroom and classrooms.
Damon brings energy and engagement to every learning environment he enters. He is not only connected and attentive, but he also takes an active role in creating a welcoming, collaborative atmosphere. With his camera on and his willingness to share ideas, Damon sets the tone for his peers and models what it means to be present and engaged.
One of the most memorable highlights this year was Damon’s English 9 story being shared during the afternoon huddle. His creative writing and willingness to contribute his voice, even though Mr. Frederick read it, became a true highlight for the 9th grade community. This is just one example of how Damon’s creativity and commitment extend beyond himself to positively impact those around him.
Damon leads by example, showing that leadership is not only about speaking up, but also about encouraging others to participate and feel valued. His enthusiasm, respect for peers and teachers, and genuine care for the community make him an exceptional role model.
Thank you, Damon, for your leadership, positivity, and authenticity. You embody the qualities of a Student of the Month, and we are proud to celebrate you. – Mr. Roundy
