Student of the Month Article

Currently at Bowie, school officials have decided on creating a Student of the Month- one student that will be shown with pride in their performance and studies involving the school. The first ever Student of the month is Chris M., a freshman. Teachers and Staff members elect several candidates and vote on which one is the best. This will be occurring at the beginning of every month of this school year.

Chris explained why he thought he became the Student of the Month. "Because I'm the best," said Chris.

One of Chris's favorite teachers Ms.Howard nominated him as the Student of the Month specifically.

"He has… Er, potential. And we know he has it but he needs to excel and put forth more effort," said Howard. We know he can do well, so he became the Student of the Month, as a sort of encouragement."

Going deeper into the election process, Principal Canne tells the steps for finding the right Student of the Month.

"We look at the students who are a bit outcasted and we look at what they're into and what they have accomplished. If they have met to quality standards, we like to get them out there, try more things, and excel rather than just… be in the background, I suppose."

Friends of Chris's have congratulated him on being titled the first ever Student of the Month. His best friend, freshman John Kirschtien, speaks out his thoughts.

"Chris is a good guy. Sometimes his head isn't in the right place with school, but I do think he was a good choice as having him be the Student of the Month."

Afterwards, potential future Student of the Months were revealed by Chris.

"I would nominate [one of] the mascot[s]," said Student of the Month, Chris M.
