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.”
Miami’s January Student of the Month is Brian Tillery, son
of Jean and Waylen Tillery. Brian is a
sophomore. His activities outside of
school include games and Amsterdam Word of Life Church. He believes that you need to be yourself and
push through anything. After school he
wants to either enter the military or secure a job in the medical field.
School staff states that he is always willing to help out
whether in school, church, or community.
He has a new job and has made plans to attend Vo-Tech next year. Making career choices as a 10th
grader is impressive!
