Adrian Optimist Club Students of the Month


The Adrian Optimist Club is pleased to honor Students of the Month from the Miami, Ballard, and Adrian schools. Criteria for this honor center on outstanding academic and civic achievement and school spirit. Staff at each of the schools make the selection, and their decision is based on expansion of these criteria. Selection is based on the criteria, but a student stepping up to a particular task will come to play in it. Each student is honored with a certificate of recognition from the Adrian Optimist Club and $20.00 in Adrian Chamber of Commerce “Chamber Bucks”.

The Adrian Student of the Month for May is, junior Trenton Bagby, son of Scott and Megan Bagby. Trenton’s in school activities include FFA as President and member of FBLA. Outside of school Trenton enjoys showing pigs as well as fishing and hunting. Adrian Vocational Agriculture Teacher, Ethan Romi states “Trenton has gone above and beyond for the Adrian FFA Chapter. He will do anything that is asked of him.” After graduation, Trenton plans on going to college to judge livestock and become a large animal vet.







The Ballard Student of the Month is senior, Morgan Meade, daughter of Jeremiah and CeNedra Meade. Vicki Lybarger, Music Teacher, states “Morgan is one of the most enjoyable students I have had inclass. She is eager to learn everything I know and comes back the next day asking for more. She is self-motivated and practices her instrument more than any student I have had the opportunity to work with; in turn she is growing as a musician by leaps and bounds. She doesn’t stop with what I can teach her she seeks out others who can help her to grow as well. This is the ear mark of a life time learner. These are the people who realize that even the so called “virtuoso” knows they can still learn something. Perhaps from an older “virtuoso” or even a new young instrumentalist (or vocalist) coming on the scene. 

Keep learning in all areas of your life Morgan and as Spick would say, “Live long, and prosper.” God Bless and keep you always.” Raelynn Kershner, Math Teacher, states “Morgan has a kind heart and lots of creative ideas!” Tori Decombes, Art Teacher, states “We could say a lot about Morgan’s intelligence, work ethic, and potential, but ultimately, Morgan Meade’s greatest contribution to this school has always been her one-of-a-kind personality. She will be greatly missed.” Morgan is involved in Publications, Scholar Bowl, Ballard Honor Society, Drama Club, and Pep Club.







The Miami Student of the Month is senior, Madison Talley, daughter of JD and Pam Talley. Morgan’s activities include basketball, softball, volleyball, FCCLA, FBLA, and FFA. She also works after school as well as playing softball and basketball. Madison states “Don’t stress over little stuff.” Miami staff states “She possesses leadership skills that will only become more evident as she matures. A great person to be around. Madison’s plans include two years at Crowder College.
