LifeChanger of the Year Nominee Profile

Michelle Leimsider was nominated by a former student, Karen Mejia.

Ms. Leimsider truly cares about the lives of the students at the iSchool. From the very first day her students meet her, that smile and that laugh and that warm welcome to the school, shows them how special they are and how much they mean to the school community. She always does her best to make sure that her students learn about all of the opportunities accessible to them, whether it was a job, an internship, a program, a sport or another activity.

Leimsider always works to make sure that her students are happy at the iSchool and helps them make sure that they are on the right track to succeed. She is there to hand her students the tools they need to get through high school, which will then develop into skills that will last a lifetime.

"She's a parent figure, a friend, a teacher, a mentor a LifeChanger," Mejia said. "Thank you for everything you have done Ms. Leimsider. You have touched the hearts of many students, and help give us the hope we need to carry on through life after high school."
