Jaden Cochran nominated her teacher, she writes,

Mrs. Wedwick is a History teacher. She teaches regular U.S. History, Dual Credit (Rock Valley), and AP. She's amazing at her job. She takes the time to check in with every student, making sure they succeed to their best ability, she's always reassuring, and honestly, she's become like a mom to me this school year. I don't have any complaints about her and she truly makes the school day easier.
