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.”
Adrian’s
December Student of the Month is senior, Makenna Merrifield, daughter of Mason
and Alicia Merryfield. She participates
in FFA, NHS, and volleyball in school but stays extremely busy outside of
school raising and showing pigs, feeding cows, and baking. Makenna’s statement of faith is, “He makes
grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate—bringing forth
food from earth.” Psalms 104:14 .”
Makenna
plans to attend a community college online so she can use her A+ and still work
on the family farm. She will then
transfer to a 4 year university to obtain a Bachelors in Animal Nutrition while
minoring in Ag Business.
