Brandi was nominated by her sister-in-law Sara, who said:

She puts all of her heart into her work and makes sure her students know they have a safe adult looking out for each and every one of them. She goes above and beyond to make her class a positive environment. Going out with her it’s like you’re with a celebrity. All the kids running up and wanting to talk to her. You can tell she makes them know they are important and seen.

Great job, Ms. Brutsche!

For being our QC Teacher of the Week, Ms. Brutsche has been rewarded with a B100 Prize Pack, including stickers, a 12-pack of Mr. Pibb, plus chocolate goodies from Ultimate Chocolates in Bettendorf!

Thank you for your hard work and dedication, Ms. Brutsche!
