The Lafayette student body has lost a loving soul. Isaiah Middleton was a beloved 11th grader whose life was cut short in a tragic car accident on August 15, 2019. 

Katie Jenkins said that Isaiah was a kindhearted person. She saw that he didn’t want to be in school so she asked where would he want to be. He responded, “ I would rather be at home playing with my little sister.” 

A  friend of his  said, “ He was the most amazing person, even though he was not perfect, he made a big impact in my life.” A lot of people said that Isaiah would be happier at home with his family than being at school. 

Stacey Raspo had Isaiah in her class for his 9th and 10th-grade year. Mrs. Raspo said, that his presence in her class in his freshman year was that he was quiet, sat in the back, and hoped not to be called on. In his 10th grade year, she said that he came in full of life, always with a smile, caring about his grades, and wanting to do good. Mrs. Raspo said, “ Isaiah was a student that was really working hard to make positive changes in his life. I loved the smile he brought to my classroom every day.”

 Some people personally didn’t know him but the way his friends and teachers have talked about him we should have. We as a school have lost a lot of young souls and even though it hurts right now let’s remember them as who they were as kind people who made an impact no matter how small or big.
