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 for March is Scott Morris. Scott is the Freshman son of Gene and Brandy Morris. Scott is credited with being a model citizen with a positive attitude and a great sense of humor. He works hard in everything that he participates in and helps others along the way. Scott has made substantial progress in mathematics, and he is persistent, not giving up in the face of difficult things. He is usually quiet in the classroom, but stands up for right when right is being challenged.
