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.
The winners for the September Student of the Month were Taylor Cain, daughter of Charles and Emily Cain of Hartford and Austin Michaels, son of Phil and Teri Michaels of Hartford.
Other boys that were nominated, left to right, were Charlie Nagel and Colton DenBoer. The nominees for the girls were, left to right, Kylie Zomer and Paiten Schuldt. (Photos/Submitted)
