Student of the Month

We just received the news today that Dale was selected Student of the Month for October at Redwood Middle School. He's one of about 15 students who were selected from the whole school of almost 1000 students. We are very proud of him!



Here's his latest soccer picture


Here's the letter we received from the school:
To the Parents of Dale Everett,
We, the staff at Redwood Middle School, are happy to recognize students who demonstrate qualities that bring credit to themselves, their families, and their school. We have designated these individuals as Student of the Month. Each staff member may nominate a student who has demonstrated postive qualities in academics, service, citizenship, or special talents. often these students not only do what is required but voluntarily offer more. Their actions contribute to the improvement of our school. Here is what one staff member has written about your child:

If you're ever in a tight squeeze, call on Dale. He is someone you can count on to follow through and get things done even if he takes on all the responsibility himself. he gives that extra ounce when others seem to have given up to make things a success. He is an example of what persistence can accomplish.

We are pleased to share with you our pride in the selection of Dale as Student of the Month. We invite you to visit the school library to view the pictures of this month's honorees, which will be placed in our Student Hall of Fame.

Sincerely,
The Redwood Staff

Congratulations Dale!! Did you get a gift from the school for your award, too? Your good work and study habits, friendliness and cooperation, leadership skills and personality all make you a winner--every day!!! (Dale for President!!!)
At our school we give tee shirts and McDonald's coupons. I nominated a few of my students over the years. Then we go to the School Board monthly meeting where the newspaper takes pictures of the students, one from each school in the district, and the put the pix and an article about the students in the local daily newspaper.
Hope you are enjoying the new books. I have a couple other ideas for you for Xmas. Love, Sandy
