Area of Recognition - Outstanding Leadership and Compassion
I'm a WaveMaker because...
Mae-Margaret Reed exemplifies outstanding leadership and compassion, as demonstrated through her remarkable contributions during Red Ribbon Week. Serving as the GSMS Red Ribbon Leader this year, Mae-Margaret went above and beyond in representing our school at the Veterans Court in Foley alongside Judge Thomason. Through her diligent efforts, Mae-Margaret organized a successful donation drive, both within our school and the community, raising funds to support veterans in need. With the collected donations, she assembled 25 gift bags filled with goodies and also contributed $500 towards covering the cost of 50 drug tests for veterans. Her initiative not only showcased her dedication to serving others but also provided tangible support to those who have served our country. MaeMargaret's generosity and selflessness extend beyond this project; she consistently demonstrates a giving spirit and a kind heart, always ready to support and assist those around her. Mae-Margaret's exemplary leadership and compassion make her a true WaveMaker at Gulf Shores Middle School, and she is highly deserving of this recognition.
