Congratulations to the September Students of the Month:
The September Junior High Student of the Month is Olivia Curry. She is the daughter of Jamie and Jenna Curry. Olivia is involved in Choir and Poms.
Olivia was nominated by Mrs. Morrow who had this to say, “Olivia is responsible, hard working, and dependable. She's kind to everyone - teachers and peers. Whatever she is doing, it's always done with a smile and a positive attitude. Olivia is an asset to Triopia!” She was also nominated by Mrs. Burrus who said, “She's a fellow Cubs fan!! Really though, she's always had a positive attitude. She's polite in the hall and comes ready to learn in the classroom. She's great about volunteering answers and being involved. Olivia is just an overall great student to have in class.”
Olvia wants to be a teacher and wants to go to Eastern Illinois University. Her favorite class is Reading because she loves Mrs. Hayes and she loves what they learn and do in class. Her favorite TV show is “Say Yes to the Dress” and her favorite non-school related activity is playing the ukulele. One thing she does not like is the St. Louis Cardinals. Congratulations Olivia Curry!
Ava Ganz is the Underclassmen Student of the Month for September. She is the daughter of Brain and Shelly Ganz and is involved in volleyball, softball, and basketball.
Ava was nominated by Mrs. Burrus who had this to say, “Ava is such a caring and sweet person. She's willing to help other students and genuinely cares about their well-being.”
Ava wants to go to college at either Mizzou or Columbia College as they are both closer to her sister Madelynn and go into the medical field. Her favorite class is Art because a lot of her friends are in there and she loves Mrs. Wardell. Some of her favorite things are pineapple, dogs, and the movie “5 Feet Apart.” Her favorite non-school related activity is hanging out with her friends. The two things Ava does not like is Mustard and tomatoes. Congratulations Ava Ganz!
Lance Bogner is the Upperclassmen Student of the Month for September. He is the son of Sydonia and Curt Bogner and he is involved in Football, Basketball, FFA, and Student Council.
Mrs. Burrus nominated Lance and noted, “Lance decided to join the student council this year and I'm thrilled to have him on board. He is a great kid and is always willing to jump in and help.”
Lance has interest in going to college but is undecided on where. He would like to go into Ag Sales or Physical Therapy and eventually wants to own a small farm. Some of Lance’s favorite things are “a good steak,” doges, horses, and the TV show Yellowstone. His favorite thing to do non-school related is the Rodeo. He dislikes black beans burgers as they “taste like playdough.” Congratulations Lance!
