Optimists present 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”.

Sheena Wainscott is the Ballard student for May. Sheena, the junior daughter of Roger and Lori Wainscott, is credited with being intelligent and conscientious and a hard worker completing any task given her. She is quick to volunteer and her leadership skills can be counted on. Sheena stepped up and took over as Junior Editor for the school newspaper, as well as continuing to complete her own assigned articles for the semester. All at Ballard look forward to Sheena as a senior next year.
