10/6/10. During prayer service today, Messmer Catholic Schools President and Messmer High Principal Brother Bob Smith announced the two students who were selected as September Students of the Month. Student of the Month is an award students can receive after being nominated by faculty and staff. Things like academic achievement, leadership, effort, improvement, character and their dedication to extracurricular activities are some of the qualities looked for in potential recipients. Sophomore Daniel Miller and Senior Shameka Moore received the honors today.
Some of the things that were said about Daniel today were that he is a member of the varsity football team and never misses a practice, that he has a quiet confidence and always applies himself and works very hard, and he doesn't let outside negative influences affect him.
Shameka was chosen because she works hard and always helps other students when needed, and is a great role model in her character and work ethic. She shares her talents and blessings with her infectious smile and authentic witness to her faith.
The award includes a $400 dollar check for each of them and a certificate to take home. The money is courtesy of the generous support of We Energies. The students names and pictures will be part of a permanent plaque displayed on the first floor of the high school. The Student of the Month Award can motivate other students to strive to do better so that they can become nominees as well.
