Gavin Kowalczyk, the son of Geoff and Kelsey Kowalczyk, was named the October Stewardson-Strasburg Junior High Student of the Month. He is in the 8th grade. He was nominated by his teachers because he is an exemplary student. He is strong in all subjects, but does a phenomenal job in math. He is a leader amongst his peers and is well liked by all. He participates in Varsity Drumline, Pep Band, JH Band, JH Basketball (Manager), JH Baseball, JH Scholar Bowl, Loyalty Club (President), and JH Eco Club. His favorite subject is math, because it comes easy to him. In his free time he likes to read, play with his dog, cook, practice his trumpet and watch TV. In the future he wants to go to college. He is interested in technology, science and math. After college he doesn't really know what he wants to do, but he knows his mom will not let him move to a big city!
So far his favorite experience in school has been participating in and winning the 2024 Lake Shelbyville Eco Meet.
