HS January Student of the Month:
Connor Manhart, the son of Phil and Tammy Manhart, was named the High School Student of the Month. He is a senior. His teachers nominated him because of his kindness to others and willingness to include others. He has served as a mentor towards underclass students and has set an example. He participates in basketball, school baseball, summer baseball, Business Club, Drama Club, LEO Club, Tech Club, LYF, Vice President of Pep Club, and President of FFA. His favorite subject is P.E., because he loves to joke around with Mr. Harmeier and have fun every day. In his free time he likes to hang out with the boys, play farming simulator, ride four wheelers and horses. In the future he wants to attend Lake Land College, go out west and be on a custom harvest crew, and eventually take over the family farm. Now to share some fun facts about Connor. If he ever won the lottery he would save some of it and then find some land to buy. If a genie granted him a wish, he would ask for a restored John Deere 4440. It would be one just like his Grandpa Tom's. If he had one super power he would want to be able to fly, so that he can get places faster. His favorite experience in school so far has been FFA State and Nationals Convention. FFA has definitely been a highlight.
JH January Student of the Month:
Kinsley Dunaway, the daughter of Josh and Ashley Dunaway, was named the January Junior High Student of the Month. She is in the seventh grade. Her teachers nominated her because she is always willing to step in and help. She has a good attitude and is friendly to all. She participates in school softball and travel softball. Her favorite subject is art. Art is very calming and she enjoys getting to experiment with different techniques. In her free time she likes to weave and play softball. In the future she would like to go to the University of Kentucky, play softball and work as a conservation officer. Now to move on to some fun facts. If she won the lottery she would like to put all of her money into savings. If a genie was able to grant her one wish, she would wish that she could find the cure for cancer. If she had one super power, she would want to have super strength. So far, her favorite school experience has been going outside all day the last day of school.
