Rotary announces student, teacher of month

The Trussville Rotary Daybreak Club is pleased to announce its Don Haisten Student of the Month for January. The program is sponsored by Full Moon Bar-B-Q.

Senior Jaimee Douglas is from ClayChalkville High School. Jaimee has participated in Thespian Society, National Honors Society, National Art honors society, Clay-Chalkville Ambassador, HOSA, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Shillo USA, Mu Alpha Theta, Key Club, JefCoEd Broadcast Journalism Signature Society and the Greater Alabama Council Boy Scouts of America Youth Leadership Development Program.

Jaimee is academically at the top 10% of her class, is on the A-Honor Roll, received Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Achievement Awards, and received the $1,000 Litter Quitters Award and the Alabama PALS 2022

Governor's Award. In her spare time, Jaimee likes to participate in community service projects around school, as well as to organize her own service projects. She also enjoys dancing.

Jaimee selected as her Teacher of the Month (TOM) her Broadcast TV Production teacher, Mr. Kristopher Campbell. She said of Mr. Campbell, "He is the only teacher I've had who actually gives his students the materials and independence needed for them to evolve and grow more, not only academically but more emotionally as people. The sympathy, empathy, and understanding that he has demonstrated for those around him has not only influenced me to do the same but it has also helped me when I was at my lowest. He is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of teacher from whom I am glad to have the pleasure of learning."
