At the beginning of November, it was time for our second round of “Students of the Month” for the year!  This month's “Students of the Month" are Brynn Settje, Ava Kasik, and Brett Wemhoff.

This is her third time winning this award, and she said, “It feels really great to win this award. It shows that my hard work in the classroom and in my extracurricular activities pays off. It shows that the teachers see how hard I try in school and everything I am involved in.”

The second winner is Brett Wenhoff. Brett is the son of Jon and Deana Wemhoff. 

This year he is participating in One Act, Football, Wrestling, Journalism, and YAC. His favorite class is Algebra II, and he is undecided on his future plans. In his free time, he keeps himself busy by gardening, playing cards, and watching football. 

This is Bretts second time receiving Student of the Month. Bret says that “It really motivates me knowing that my hard work does not go unnoticed.”

The third winner of student of the month is Ava Kasik. She is the daughter of Joe and Heather Kasik. Her grandparents are Lawrence and the late Marilyn Kasik and Alice and the late Frederick Krenk of Schuyler. 

Ava participates in Volleyball, Basketball, Track, Dance, FFA, FCCLA, Journalism, One Act, YAC, Yearbook, and National Honor Society. Her favorite subject in school is Science. In the future she wants to go into Pediatric Nursing. In her free time, she enjoys joining on walks or runs, shopping, practicing sports, and being outdoors. 

This is her second time getting student of the month, and she said, "I'm excited to see that my efforts in the classroom and my extracurriculars are being noticed, and it's great to be recognized as Student of the Month."
