October, Students of the Month

10/31/2019

 
Success comes in many forms and is dependent on a person’s situation. As educators, we encounter success every day working with students in our classrooms, on the field, court, or stage. We are fortunate that we have this opportunity. As the years go by we see students mature and grow into adults who leave and go on to do great things from this school. If you spend any time on social media you would know that not everyone celebrates each other’s successes. Unfortunately, people often use these platforms to point out the differences in each other, humiliate someone for their views and the way they choose to express themselves and at times even downplay someone celebrating personal successes.  

Success for all of us looks different. A person who has been ill and has finally regained the strength to get up and start work again may see that as a success. A person who has been out of work for months who just found a part-time minimum paying job will find that as a success.  A preschool student who just learned to tie their shoes feels like they can now accomplish anything. 

We can choose to find success in all facets of our lives if we choose to do so. Our perspective on success will drive this. In a 2013 commencement speech, the Oprah Winfrey said to graduating students, “No matter what challenges or setbacks or disappointments you may encounter along the way, you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal, there really is only one, and that is this: to fulfill the highest most truthful expression of yourself as a human being.”

The following students choose to live out their lives by expressing themselves by applying their efforts into not only being great students but more importantly as great people. For celebrating the small and large success and for being true examples of what it means to be an Arrow, we would like to award the following to students for being October Students of the Month.

In junior high, the following student was recognized by her teachers as being someone who is positive, open to new learning and puts her best effort into her work. She has a kind heart and is always willing to help out a classmate or teacher. She works hard and doesn't let those around her distract her. For her hard work, passion for learning and great work ethic would Veronica Johnson please come down to collect your Student of the Month reward. 

The following senior high student is looked up upon by his teachers as someone who is dependable, reliable, and willing to do his best. He is always looking for ways to improve in his academics and teachers tend to have a lot of respect and admiration for him. For his hard work, passion for learning, great work ethic, and humble heart would Sam Heeter please come down to collect 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.
