Natalie Bragg in the spotlight at RCHS
The Senior Spotlight winner for the month of December is Natalie Bragg, daughter of Charlie and Kristi Bragg.
During her high school career, Natalie was involved in Softball, POPS, and FCCLA. She was also in the crew for the school musical, on the Honor Roll, and was a volunteer coach for the RCMS Panther Softball team.
Her future plans are to attend JJC for two years and then transfer to a four-year college to study medicine.
Here are a few thoughts from Natalie's teachers.
Mrs. Arseneau says that Natalie “is an all-around wonderful student! I always get excited when she walks into my class at the start of a semester because I know that she is going to bring so much to the group! You can always count on Natalie to bring her positive attitude and infectious smile. People like this are hard to come by in life, but when you are with Natalie, you cannot help but smile! She brings her 100% effort to everything she does. She is caring and helpful to her classmates, and, as her teacher, someone I can always count on when I need her.”
Ms. Baron appreciates that Natalie “is an exceptionally hardworking student. In Ceramics I class, Natalie always goes above and beyond to create stunning, quality work. Natalie comes to class with a smile and positive attitude each day.”
Mr. Swanson thinks that Natalie “has a great sense of humor. She's smart and talented and a joy to be around. She has a bright future.”
Mrs. Rankin believes that Natalie “is a bright, hardworking young lady who is an absolute pleasure to have in class.”
Mrs. Bugg is thankful that Natalie is “kind, mature and accepting of everyone. If another student does not have a partner, she will include them in her group. She has a heart of gold and serves as a tremendous role model for others!”
Mrs. Leveille says that she remembers Natalie “as being someone with lots of positive energy. She was always pleasant and polite, with a smile on her face often! She worked well with others in class!”
Mrs. Sukley says “if I had a daughter, I would hope she would be something like Natalie Bragg. Natalie is the type of kid whose smile lights up the room when she walks in the door. Natalie is one of the most pleasant students to interact with, as her demeanor and conduct make her unique for a high school student. She is hard-working, motivated, and full of a personality that is sure to make a lasting impression. Natalie possesses the ultimate “can do” attitude while taking on all tasks with positive energy and a smile. She is very well organized and takes the initiative to go above and beyond the expected responsibilities of her job both in and out of the classroom. I love Natalie!”
Mr. Gleixner thinks that Natalie “is one of the most kind and friendly students at Reed-Custer. She constantly has a smile on her face and she is a great example for the younger students.”
Mrs. Redwitz appreciates that Natalie “is a great young woman who is genuine and kind. My first encounter with her showed me how responsible she was. She knew I wanted to meet with her that day, but she had to leave early. She came to our office, introduced herself to both of us counselors, and explained why she could not meet with me. To me this shows a high level of maturity.”
Ms. Askew is thankful that Natalie “is such a wonderful person! She always has a smile on her face, no matter what day it is. She is very mature and cares about succeeding in all aspects of her life. She is such a joy to be around and always goes out of her way to say something positive to her peers and teachers. Natalie will be successful in anything she chooses! Her hard work and positive attitude will carry her far!”
Mr. Carrescia believes that Natalie “is a down to earth student who gets along with a lot of people. She is fun to be around and has a great personality. She is a caring young woman who will do great things in life.”
As a final thought, Natalie's advice to younger students is, “Get involved in a variety of things in school and have fun. High school is only fun if you make it fun. Be yourself and have a good time.”
On behalf of the teachers and staff at RCHS, they congratulate Natalie Bragg as the December winner of the Senior Spotlight.
