February Students of the Month...

2/28/2019

 
​Years from now, when high school is just a distant memory, you will find yourself in a situation where you will run into an old friend. Maybe it's just a coincidence or a planned reunion but regardless of the reason, you will find yourself face to face with an older version of a good friend. At that moment, memories and thoughts of the past will come back to both of you. Some may be welcomed while others are painful. Through this reunion What both of you will remember are the characteristics that made you who you were at that time. Either one of you may have been a great athlete, an honor roll student, a dropout, an FFA star, a musician, or just a little bit of everything. None of that will matter. What does matter and what will be remembered are the characteristics that made you who you were. 

The point of this story is this.... The characteristics we have now often shape who we will be in the future. Those of us who have determination, grit, patience, a strong work ethic, who are kind, courteous, humble and eager to learn often find themselves on a path of happiness and success. The role we play in high school doesn’t define who we are, but the way we act, the way we handle difficult situations and the way we treat others, give us a great indicator of who we will become later in life. And though we often equate success to money, the characteristics that make us good people are the ones that lead to the greatest sense of happiness and inner wealth and often financial wealth. 

The following two students are being recognized by their teachers as being students who have character traits that we know will lead them to a path of success later in life.  They have shown these characteristics every day in our school and community and we know that years down the road when they run into an old friend they will be remembered for the following things. 

For their efforts, will the following two students come down to receive a certificate for February Student of the month, along with a free lunch from one of our restaurants downtown. 

In junior high, the following student was recognized by her teachers as being a hard worker, an overachiever, pays attention to detail and participates intelligently in class discussions. This student is known as someone who is passionately interested in many different things, a great communicator and a very sweet, kind, and genuine person.  For her hard work, passion for learning and great work ethic congratulations,  Kennedy Skougard on your Student of the Month reward. 

The following senior high student continues to show underclassman how hard work, a positive attitude and a love of learning pays off. Her teachers have mentioned that there aren’t enough ways to describe how remarkable she is. From her class work to extracurricular activities, this students positively shines.  She is also known for her integrity and commitment which was mentioned as being second to none. For her hard work, passion for learning, great work ethic, and humble heart, congratulations, Cailey Schlosser on your Student of the Month reward.

    Students of the Month

    Once a month we will take the time to recognize students who show the Ashby way on a continuous basis. The two students have been recognized by their teachers as students who have stood out amongst their peers to show the school and community the true meaning of dedication, passion, and hard work.

    Ashby High School honors one student in junior high and one student in senior high each month for their hard work and dedication to the school and the community. Students are nominated monthly by teachers for their outstanding achievement in Citizenship, Academics, and Leadership. Students with the most nominations are awarded the title of Student of the Month. Below is a short description of qualities looked for in a potential Student of the Month.

    Citizenship: Has a good sense of humor; is not critical of others; accepts criticism; is coach-able; is polite; obeys rules; follows directions; is a good sport; is dependable; helps others; and is honest. Also taken into consideration is someone who is a leader in several kinds of activities or who stands out for something positive he or she has done through words or examples. A good citizen/leader is someone who behaves not only in the classroom but all around the community.
     
    Academics: Asks intelligent questions; uses vocabulary effectively; achieves at or above ability level work and makes up work without being reminded; and will go the extra mile.

    Most Improved: Recognizes students who have worked on improving their grades or their behavior.
    ​
    Sportsmanship: Refers to demonstrating fairness, self-control, courage, and persistence, treats others fairly, maintains self-control in dealing with others, respects both authority and opponents, and is a positive influence on everyone around them.

    For their efforts, students have their photo taken, receive a certificate, along with a free lunch from one of our restaurants downtown.
