Big congrats to our Middle School Students of the Month for March!
In the 5th grade, we’ve got Josie Harper, nominated by Mrs. Krystal Dominick.
“Josie is a kind and caring young woman. She is a good friend to others and a hard-working student. Josie has made great gains this year, in all areas,” said Dominick. “Josie shows a genuine interest in her academic growth, especially in the area of reading, and is a true pleasure to teach and an asset to any classroom she is in.”
David Anthony, nominated by Mrs. Kayla Eick, is our 6th grade student of the month.
“David is SUCH a great helper to his peers and tries to keep everyone on task,” said Eick.
Ms. Heather Smith nominated our 7th grade student of the month, Jax Hendershott.
“Jaxson consistently demonstrates genuine enthusiasm in all he does, whether academically or athletically. He approaches new challenges with a positive attitude, curiosity, and a willingness to try their best,” Smith said. “In addition to his energetic engagement, he shows strong character and integrity—treating others with respect, taking responsibility for his actions, and making thoughtful, honest choices. He is fun-loving and kind to his peers. He wears a genuine smile whenever you see him, as well. Jaxson's combination of excitement for learning (in and out of the classroom) and solid values makes him a positive influence in the Attica Middle School family.”
And in the 8th grader, our student of the month is Savahanna Vanderveer, nominated by Mrs. Erin Holt.
“I don’t know Savahanna personally and I’ve never taught her, but I witnessed her display complete and utter compassion for a fellow student earlier this month,” recalled Holt. “This other student had left a classroom sobbing while I was on hall duty and Savahanna happened to be in the hall at the same time. She just wrapped her arms around the crying student and soothed her. She then took her in the bathroom and when I went to check on them, she was with her on the floor just holding her. It gave me faith in this generation of kids.”
