Students of the Month announced


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 Miami Student of the Month is Junior Brody Julien son of Jason and Rebecca Julien.  Jason, an exemplary student, is also into all sports at Miami.  He also enjoys playing sports and hanging with friends as well as playing video games.  Brody says, “I would like to give a shout out to Mr. Tenholder and Mr. Hug for inspiring me along with my parents.”  Staff at Miami say, “Brody demonstrates many qualities that Student of the Month should have.  His work and examples to the younger student body is one of the qualities that sets Brody apart from some of his peers.  Many of our youngsters look up to Brody and he knows it. He uses that knowledge to improve, not only his school experience, but also that of so many others.  Brody plans to join the military after graduation.
