Adrian Optimist Club January Student of the Month for Miami, Brian Tillery

 

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!
