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”.
For March, the Miami student is Crystal Routen. Crystal, a junior, is the daughter of Forrest and Shelly Routen. She is very active especially in FFA, choir, volleyball, softball, basketball, and track. Crystal is also very active beyond school with more FFA and softball, as well as working part-time. She truly appreciates the inspiration she receives from her friends and Coach Keith Smith. She does not have a sure plan for after high school; but if she goes to college, basketball will likely be involved. Miami staff state that Crystal is extremely hard working and determined to succeed. She wants very much to do well in any endeavor, both at school and at home; and they are proud of her.
