The Ballard R-2 School District is pleased to be working in
conjunction with the Adrian Optimist Club to honor a Student of the Month for
the 2023-24 school year.
The Student of the Month for November is Sophomore, Dayne Greer,
the son of Jimmy and Staci Greer. This month's special theme is "Gratitude
and Generosity". Dayne currently participates in Envirothon and FFA, and
in his free time, he also enjoys hunting, fishing, and going to work. His
future plans are to go to welding or diesel mechanics school. Dayne would like
to say, "My main source of inspiration is my grandpa."
The Ballard staff have said about Dayne: "Dayne was very
grateful for some opportunities that were presented to him. He decided to take
advantage of the new opportunities even when they were out of his comfort zone.
Dayne is very frequently heard using his manners being polite. He has stepped
up as a leader and student in my classroom and organization. He truly is trying
to be a better student, leader, and overall person for others to look up
to."
"Dayne exhibits gratitude and generosity to his peers. He
works hard and deserves the best!"
For Dayne’s hard work in school, he has received a certificate
of recognition from the Adrian Optimist Club and $20.00 in Adrian Chamber of
Commerce “Chamber Bucks.”
