Students Of The Month

Winter is just beginning to thaw, and with the end of January comes two Starbuck school district students of the month. In the elementary school, Karlee Summers is being rewarded for all her hard work this year!

Karlee is a 2nd grader this year, and she is giving her best in and outside the classroom. Academically she has raised her reading and math scores considerably. She recently reached her reading goals for Accelerated Reader (AR) points, and received a special Valentines ice cream sundae reward! In math she is mastering fractions with ease, and in Writing she loves to publish stories about horses on the computers.

When interacting with other students, Karlee is very cooperative. During free times or recess she shares well, and is a good listener to other students. Every month the school works on character traits (Last month was Generosity), and Karlee has shown a lot of generosity in January! She is generous with her time, and always willing to give help to anyone who needs it.

Outside of school Karlee has a love of animals that is admirable. I'm sure she will be a veterinarian or horse trainer one day. She loves horses especially, and is very active riding and taking care of them. Karlee is a great student, and a great kid.

Olivia Garver is January's Student of the Month for Mrs. Wooldridge's class. Olivia is a 5th grader this year and doing well. She works hard and is always respectful.

Olivia likes math and reading and is improving in both of these subjects. She just finished Charlotte's Web and is on her way to the AR Ice Cream celebration. She also likes adding her colorful touch to the graphs she makes in Math class. She knows that for success, dedication is required and that is why she works so hard, not only in her studies but also in sports as well. Olivia played soccer this year and loved it. She also has learned to snow ski this year through our PE Ski Bluewood program. With just four days under her belt, she is already swooshing down the slopes.

Olivia is a student that can be counted on to do whatever is asked. She is helpful to the younger students and teachers and always seems to be in good spirits. She is a great role model. Students like Olivia and Karlee make Starbuck school Great!
