The J.O. Combs Unified School District in partnership with Banner Ironwood Medical Center recently honored the Students of the Month for September.

The Students of the Month for September included:

  • Kira Chase, Combs High School, 10th grade
  • Alina Gerasimova, Combs Middle School, eighth grade
  • Elyse Rodriguez, Combs Traditional Academy, second grade
  • Deegan Morgan, Ellsworth Elementary School, first grade
  • Autumn Phan, Harmon Elementary School, sixth grade
  • Lea Oitzman, Ranch Elementary School, fifth grade
  • Nixyn Baker, Simonton Elementary School, fifth grade

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, according to a release.

Traits included in the Character Counts Program include responsibility, trustworthiness, citizenship, caring, respect and fairness. For the month of September, students were recognized for demonstrating the character trait of responsibility.

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.
