The Mooresville Intermediate School Student Council was chosen by their teachers to represent their peers because of their determination, empathy and willingness to lead by example. Their mission has been to help our school define and show what respect looks like. They have come up with school-wide resources to help guide their peers through struggles they may experience. They have taught lessons throughout the school about what respect looks and sounds like. They have now given back to the community by touring and volunteering at feedNC. 

These students have shown pride in their school and have shown leadership and respect to peers and staff alike. The MIS 5th grade student council representations are making a difference in their school and are a remarkable group of students.

Ashanti Duff, student at Mooresville Intermediate School was nominated by Mrs. Crawford, Art Teacher & Karaoke Club Teacher. Ms. Crawford shared, "I could go on and on about the artistic talents sweet Ashanti possesses. She is truly a well-rounded, fun, and respectful student. I’m lucky to have Ashanti in art class and in the Karaoke club on club days. She has an amazing way of showing her love of the arts through her voice and song choices. Whenever Ashanti performs for the class in the Karaoke Club, I always notice students passing in the hallway smiling and listening to her sing. She has a humble confidence that radiates everywhere she goes. She is very deserving of this award."

Odilia Husko, Instructional Assistant at Mooresville Intermediate School was nominated by Dr. Mark Cottone, Principal & Ms. Katie Calloway, Assistant Principal. They shared, "Ms. Husko consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty and is truly deserving of this recognition. Two teachers she works closely with, Ms. Pao and Ms. Silvestri, agree that she brings an “all in” attitude each and every day, demonstrating a genuine commitment to both students and staff.  

"Ms. Husko is always willing to step in wherever she is needed, offering support to teachers and providing meaningful assistance to students to help them succeed. 

Her flexibility and positive mindset allow her to seamlessly jump into any classroom at a moment’s notice, making a difference wherever she goes. She approaches each day with a servant’s heart, often asking, “How can I help?”—and then following through with care, professionalism, and enthusiasm.  

"Ms. Husko is one of those people you only come across a few times in life. Her willingness to help, her empathy for others, and her great patience in fulfilling the duties each day brings are what make her so deserving of this recognition. Ms. Husko has demonstrated throughout all these years her vocation for helping others, always going above and beyond what is asked of her. Her dedication and kindness leave a lasting impact on everyone she works with, and her positive influence continues to inspire those around her every single day. 

"Ms. Husko is an invaluable member of our MGSD community. Her dedication, reliability, and willingness to go the extra mile embody the true spirit of the ABCD award."
