Adrian Optimist 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 Ballard Student of the Month is Sabrina Walsh, junior daughter of Dan and Karla Walsh. PE Instructor, Samie Hill states “She (Sabrina) is a student that is always kind to others. She tries her best in the classroom and in every school setting. She is the first to arrive to work on something and always asks for the next job once she has worked hard at completing the previous one. I feel she is a student that has a genuine understanding and sympathy for others around her. She has developed into a quiet leader roll within her class.”
