Congratulations to
Life-Changing Teaching Award Nominee
CORY IDLEBIRD
ROBERSON MIDDLE SCHOOL

STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY

I would like to nominate Coach Idlebird because he makes PE class fun and welcoming for everyone. He explains activities clearly, and he makes sure students understand the rules before class begins so no one feels confused or left out. Coach Idlebird creates an energetic environment, and students feel comfortable trying their best even if they are not perfect. When students are having problems or need advice, Coach Idlebird is always there to listen and help, and he never makes students feel embarrassed for asking questions. His class can be challenging, but it is also encouraging because he motivates students to keep going. He is very funny, and he tells jokes or makes us laugh when we are tired or nervous, which helps everyone relax and enjoy the activity. His encouragement is like a coach cheering from the sidelines, pushing us forward and reminding us that effort matters more than winning. Coach Idlebird makes PE a positive place for everyone, and he treats all students with respect no matter their skill level. Even when students struggle, he reminds them that improvement takes time, and he believes in them. Because he is supportive, funny, and always willing to help, PE class feels less stressful and more enjoyable, and it inspires students to participate, stay active, and improve both physically and mentally.
