BROKEN BOW – Broken Bow Public School has announced the October Students of the Month; this month’s character trait is Responsibility.
One student from each grade who most represents the month’s chosen quality has been selected by peers. The four are:
12th grade: Anna Clingenpeel
11th grade: Brandon Gamboa
10th grade:Katelyn Berggren
9th grade: Alexis Pflaster
Once the nominees are put forward, the list is sent on to the school’s administration for approval. Once approved, each student is awarded a free Runza and their names are recognized in announcements.
Rachelle Haines, serving her 25th year in the service of Broken Bow Public Schools, explains that the award means that much more when peers recognize peers.
“It’s sometimes easy for kids just to follow the flow—or people, not just students—but it’s easy for people just to follow the flow and when kids get rewarded for going against that grain it validates their choices,” Haines said.
