Madison Nealy of Lipsey Middle School was recently selected as April’s Youth of the Month by the Exchange Club of Brookhaven.

At Lipsey, Nealy is a sixth-grader who enjoys soccer, basketball and video games. Her favorite subject is social studies because she likes to learn about the past and present, she said. Her teachers say she has grown so much over the year and works hard for excellence.

She is the daughter of Travis and Miranda Nealy, and attends Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church in Sibley.
