WNWN.com's Student of the Month

Adrianna has had a hard time this year but does her best to keep her grades up. She is a hard worker and she loves to voulunteer her extra time at the local Humane Society. Last week she decided to have a bake sale because she knew the animals needed some help and she made 86.00 for them in 3 hours. SHe does whatever she can to help others and the animals.

Jason was laid off shortly after our child was born last year, so instead of getting down he decided to go to school to get his degree in Criminal Justice. He has always wanted to be a cop so he could help his community. He is in his 2nd semester and is earning aweseome grades! He will start the police program in the fall and will graduate next year. I am so proud of him for going back to school to bettter himself and for doing such an amazing job!

Scott has been attending Lake Superior State University since 2009.  He is on the Dean's List and will be graduating in April with a Bachelor Of Science in Criminal Justice and two Associates Degrees in the Dept. Of Natural Resources Technology and Corrections.  He is attending the MCOLES Police Academy and will graduate from there in June.  He volunteered at the Chippewa Correctional Facility and works during the summer at Pennfield Schools.

She has been accepted to Ball State University's Honors College in the fall Pre-Med all the way. She wants to be a Pediatric Oncologist. I am just so very proud of her! She is one very determined young lady. I am her mom. since she could talk I would always do the math quiz on long road trips keeping her mind moving. She loves to read. She has the highest number of pages read every year at her school. Her nick name is "Book Worm".

He's a great student, son and grandson. He is always willing to help his teacher, mom and grandpa when every he can. He gets stars and smiley faces everyday for his home work and is a huge country fan.

I am nominating my neice Jessica for student of the month. She holds a 3.9 GPA and is taking several advanced classes. She is captain of the bowling team, president of the Gay Straight Alliance, and a member of St. Joseph church. She is a passionate advocate for the underserved and under represented of our community.

Angel is a very helping and caring student. Everyday she always gives a 110 percent. She is on the honor roll. She Loves to read everyday and also loves Science. She is a student that i think needs a little reward sometimes. :)

Nathan is a freshman at Lakeview High School. To say he struggled with his grades in middle school would be an understatement! He never did his homework and his grades showed! He always told me, "Mom, I know how much high school matters and I promise I will buckle down in high school." Well, he certainly did! He has 3 A+

Alexis is my granddaughter and I am extremely proud of her.  She is an A-student.  She has had art work displayed at the art center.  Alexis loves to draw and her goal is to be a designer.  Everything sounds perfect except for her health.  She has ashtma, acid reflux, and often has chest pains. She is on quite a few meds.  She goes for tests with specialists and the have not yet dtermined the whole problem. 

She's beautiful, has her head on straight and defintely deserves to be recognized as student of the month.  She loves soccer and makes the shopper news with goals scored.

I love her dearly---Grandma Val

(Alexis goes to Pennfield Middle School and is 11 yrs old.)

Elly is a student at Purdy Elementary.  She is challenged a little for what God has given her.  She was born with enlarged ventricals in her brain, but she can read and do math like normal. When it comes to physical education and art they are challenging.  She tries so hard to be like the rest of the kids, but fails.  Her pictures do not go with stories.  Although her stories are great, she doesn’t have the ability to draw like all the others.  She gets so upset by that.  She is truly a wonderful student and she deserves to be noticed as one. She is a great student and works really hard to be one...Sincerely, a very proud Meme(grandmother)!!!!

I am nominating my daughter, Taylor, as WIN Country's student of the month because she is one of the hardest working kids I know. She is in 9th grade this year at Quincy High School. She puts a lot of effort into her school work. She plays trombone in the high school band. She is participating on the cross country team while dealing with shin splints. She works hard to get all her homework done while having practices for both cross country and marching band. On top of all that, she helps keep our small farm going by taking care of her animals and our chickens every day. From March until August, she cares for sheep and pigs for the county fair. She is a very busy girl, and I am so proud of her for all she does. But the thing that makes me the most proud is that she is caring, kind, and God-fearing. I love her with all my heart. That is why I believe she would be a great choice for student of the month.
