This student is a great role model. She truly possesses all of the following character traits: responsibility, respect, empathy, determination, leadership, integrity, and cooperation. During the month of February, Redgranite Elementary School was celebrating the character trait leadership. This student is constantly showing me what a great leader she is inside and outside the classroom. She is always quick to show 5, she immediately offers to help other students, she encourages others to do their best and to do the right thing, and she is always following expectations and directions without being reminded. As the year progresses, this student continues to exceed my expectations. I am excited to see this student continue to grow as an outstanding leader and role model at Redgranite Elementary. It is with great pleasure that I nominate Kylie Henze for Redgranite Elementary’s student of the month.

The WHS Music, Art, Spanish, and Physical Education Departments would like to nominate Deakin Buchkowski for student of the month.
Deakin has proven to be an exceptional student in his instrumental music classes this year. In both jazz ensemble and concert band he leads the students around him with his positive attitude and confidence. In classes he encourages everyone to play loud and many students have identified Deakin as being a leader in the band, someone they look up to, and someone who inspires them to be brave in their own playing.
When faced with difficult solos and challenging parts Deakin approaches his music systematically. He breaks it down to small sections and learns it section by section. He has a growth mindset and knows that if he follows his process he will be successful.
Deakin is also a student who goes above what is required of him. Recently he was spotted finishing up Beowulf (reading beyond the section required of the class) simply because he doesn’t like to leave a book unfinished.
Deakin has also shown a great deal of motivation in athletic development this year; even on days he does not necessarily care for the skills being expected of him. He has also developed into a strong leader for his peers. Deakin is frequently heard reminding his peers to clean up their lifting areas, along with holding them accountable in terms of work ethic. Deakin’s ability to be upfront with his peers is notable, as most would shy away from this in fear of being responded to negatively. His constant willingness to help move equipment before and after class is greatly appreciated as it leaves transition times less chaotic.
Deakin is willing to meet challenges, motivate and lead peers, and go beyond what is expected of him. For all of these reasons we feel he would be well deserving of student of the month.
2nd grade students at Redgranite Elementary School became engineers and used what they knew about the properties of solid materials to build towers and bridges. Their creations were very creative!

WHS students enrolled in Ms. Wheaton's Advanced Engineering and Technology class recently studied optics technology. CorelDraw software was used to design the acrylic piece, and then students used the Epilog laser engraver/cutter to engrave the design and cut out the acrylic. A variety of tools was used to engineer a base that holds both the acrylic plate and lights. The projects are currently on display in the WHS Library.
