West Central middle school teachers, grades 6-8, get to select students they see showing outstanding character throughout the month. Teachers watch for things such as high-quality work, putting in extra effort, working well with others and more.
Once the selections are made by the teachers, the students receive the names of the nominees and the nominees receive a letter that indicates the specific traits that the teachers saw in them throughout the month.
Boys that were nominated for 7th grade, left to right, were Dylan Bettcher, Alex Siemonsma and Blake Anderson. The nominees for the girls were, left to right, Ashtyn Nilson, Elle Schaefer and Devon Lee. The winners for the September Student of the Month were Mason Kennedy and Briauna Hoff. (Photos/Submitted)
