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 March is Delana Miner, a Senior. Delana is the daughter of Landon and Angela Miner. In school she works in NHS, Yearbook, Cheer, and Volleyball. Out of school she is in club volleyball and volunteering at church. Delana states, “Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.” Delana plans to attend Longview Community College then go somewhere for a degree in Secondary Education to be a 2nd grade teacher.

The Miami Student of the Month is Danny Embrey, senior, son of Serenity and Dan Embrey. His school activities include: President of FCCLA, Class President, NHS President, STUCO, A+ Peer Tudor, and Scholar Bowl. Outside of school he is in students in training of Academia, Health, and Research HOSH. Danny has set a high goal for himself as he plans to study medicine to become a doctor. It has always been his choice to be determined for a career goal and he cannot wait to see his future and how it will develop. His plans include general education at MCC, Longview and then transfer to UMKC for med school.

The Ballard Student of the Month is Lindy Gunter, a Sophomore. Lindy is the daughter of Sarah and Brett Bogart. At school, Lindy enjoys being a member of Scholar Bowl, Envirothon, and the Soils team for FFA. She was willing to join the Soils team even though she knew little about the subject. 

She and her team worked hard and succeeded to be able to compete at the state level. After graduation, Lindy is planning to attend UCM to work toward a career in the medical field. Lindy’s favorite quote is “Some ladies play hard to get, I play hard to understand.” The Ballard staff has said: “Lindy is always respectful and cooperative with both her peers, teachers, and staff. She works hard and is willing to improve and is also willing to try new things.” Lindy stepped up and gave a speech in public this year, which was a huge accomplishment for her. She is a kind and caring individual.
