The children at the preschool call him "Mr. Noah." When engaging with them, Reedy communicates the importance of school and supports children who are being bullied. He serves as a group leader and helps with planning, organizing and keeping up the classroom. At times, while the kids are napping, Reedy might notice a student without a blanket. He then takes a trip to the thrift store to get one. He has an effect so strong that as the kids grow older and move on, they remember to give him a shout-out in the hallway.
"[I like] being with a bunch of kids that enjoy having somebody that hangs out with them, and I can teach them what's a good thing and what's a bad thing," he said.
Reedy lives in a group home and surrounds himself with things he loves to do. He rides horses, skates, plays the ukulele, paints and takes photographs -- a hobby he was able to enjoy while on a recent canoe trip.
"My parents have centered their lives over the course of his life on encouraging Noah to be all he can be and on giving him opportunities to try anything," Schultz said.
Reedy continues to pursue those opportunities. Now he can add BMX to his list of achievements.
