“I am nominating Brooke Coffman because of her dedication and love she pours into every student she meets. She offers more love and patience than any other human I have met. She creates and encourages opportunities that most of these students would never receive if it wasn’t for her ongoing support and encouragement. Brooke has said before, I am not only influencing these children as students but as future adults. She is phenomenal and gives 110% and expects nothing in return.”
