J.O. Combs Unified School District celebrates February students of the month

Posted

Students of the month for February were recently announced for the J.O. Combs Unified School District.

The students of the month for February --- who were recognized for demonstrating the character trait of fairness --- were:

  • Roger Gasca, Combs High School, 12th grade.
  • Korbin M. Henderson, Combs Middle School, seventh grade.
  • Evan Benfield, Combs Traditional Academy, first grade.
  • Ali Amya Tellechea, Ellsworth Elementary School, sixth grade.
  • Sophia Gonzalez, Harmon Elementary School, first grade.
  • Van Merkley, Ranch Elementary School, sixth grade.
  • Elcee Holowell, Simonton Elementary School, first grade.

The J.O. Combs Unified School District partners with Banner Ironwood Medical Center to administer the student of the month program, according to a release.

The program provides an opportunity each month for one student from each of the district's seven schools to be recognized for demonstrating one of the various pillars of the Character Counts program. One character trait is selected each month and students are selected by their principal or teacher.

Traits included in the Character Counts Program include responsibility, trustworthiness, citizenship, caring, respect and fairness.

Selected students are celebrated for their achievement with a certificate of recognition at the Governing Board meeting each month where they are acknowledged by Superintendent Dr. Greg Wyman, the Governing Board, and a Banner Ironwood Medical Center representative.
