We are excited to have our first Lion of the Month recognition of the year. Today we celebrate our September and October recognitions. Our Lion of the Month staff member for September is Mr. Adelson. Mr. Adelson had multiple nominations for Building Connections with Students and having a Passion for Teaching and Learning. Mr. Adelson has become part of the Bluestem family from Day 1 and is showing up everywhere! He is sure to make it nearly every extracurricular activity, students have stated they are learning so much in his classroom, and he has been a great addition to our community already this year! Our student Lion of the Month is Regan Harold. Regan is a Lion Making a Difference because she is always willing to help whether it be helping a classmate with their math or helping another team with concessions. She is always there to lend a helping hand. Our October staff member is Mrs. Winter! Mrs. Winter does so much extra duty work that makes a difference in our community - between junior class co sponsor, drama, forensics, musicals…she keeps extra busy making great connections with students and creating wonderful memories. Thank you for all of your hard work Mrs. Winter! Our student of the month for October is Mavilyn Crenshaw! Mavilyn has stepped up numerous times in the classroom this school year already! She has provided leadership, especially at a specific time when someone really needed to jump in and take charge! She can often times be found doing the right thing and is a fantastic example to others! She may think about being a teacher someday...or at least a substitute! Thank you Mavilyn for being a leader in the classroom! Congratulations to our Lion of the Month winners!
