To help recognize the hard work being put in, Piute High School started a program to showcase one boy and one girl from every grade once a month. They are the “Students of the Month.” Students are chosen based on categories like: responsibility, kindness, courage and more. The teachers get together and give candidates who they think shows that characteristic. Once some candidates are chosen a vote is held and the boy and girl from each grade are picked.
High School students get lost in the haze of attending hours of sitting in chairs listening to lectures, doing homework through procrastination, turning that homework in just to go back and listen and get more homework. Sometimes it’s a lot. Where is the recognition that the efforts of doing a good job are enough to satisfy the checkbox of a good job? With the Student of the Month Program as well as Piute Proud program, Piute has seen students finding their way out of the haze and receiving the recognition that is needed to satisfy the “good job” yearn. Every month two students in each grade 7th-12th are recognized for their hard work. A poster is made and hung around all over the school to showcase the students of the month.
Piute’s January students of the month for being spirited are as follows: In the 7th grade, Josie Davis and Diego Hernadez Olivas; 8th grade, Gracie Allen and Bodie Gayler; 9th grade, Hadley Morgan and Logan Bowles; 10th grade, Leila Barney and Trevor Pearson; 11th grade Makayla Miramontes, and Cooper Springer; and in 12th grade Ari Hurdsman and Bryce Lee.
Congratulations to the January students of the month!
