Arabrian Lewis was nominated by an anonymous colleague.
For nearly six years, Ms. Lewis has encouraged positive change in the lives of her students. She manages to balance professionalism with genuine care for each individual student. Her nominator has seen her go to extreme lengths to make sure every student has everything they need, including taking on a homebound teaching position on top of her counselor's work and position as campus testing coordinator.
Ms. Lewis ensures that students have supplies for the school day and buys clothing for students in need. She even washes their uniforms at the school to make sure they are well taken care of.
"She maintains a running list of students who need snacks for their home over the weekends or school breaks," the nominator said. "She even gives them extra snacks when she knows that they have siblings. Her professionalism is beyond words. I am constantly amazed by her poise and self-control. Her ability to speak to students and parents is one I hope to achieve one day."
"Ms. Lewis is here to perform and excel in her career," the nominator said. "I don't believe I have ever met anyone quite as passionate about their career."
