Today in Mrs. Gieck's 4th grade class, these two math Superstars completed their Monster Math. Alice completed division through 12's and will go back to multiplication to try to complete it in a faster time. Maddie completed her multiplication through 12's and will start working on division next week. Awesome job girls!

Dederick Nielson is our 6th grade student of the month. He was nominated by Mrs. Jones. Dee is a hard worker, respectful to his classmates and staff. He is responsible and shows up to class prepared and ready to learn. Dee is respectful and polite in the classroom and all areas of the middle school. Qualities like this is what makes him our student of the month. We are so proud of students like Dee at Bland Middle School.
Gauge Workman is our BHS Student of the Month.
Gauge Workman is incredibly deserving of this award. He comes into class ready to learn and willing to participate. He puts in real effort towards his studies and turns in quality work. He's not afraid to ask questions or make mistakes. He stays focused while maintaining a good sense of humor. Even after being absent for a few days, Gauge came back ready to work. Not only did he quickly finish his missing work, he very quickly caught up to where we were in class and still managed to outperform some of his classmates. It's students like Gauge that make teachers truly enjoy their job.

I am so happy Gauge was selected to be student of the month for Belle High. He has worked really hard in my class to make sure he stays on track. He comes in each day and does what he is supposed to, even if he is having an off day. Sometimes students can get sidetracked, but not Gauge. He does not let distractions get in the way of him completing his work. He is always polite and respectful towards me and if asked something or I need his help, he does so with no objections. He has really come out of his shell since day one of being in my class and I am so thankful to have him in class. I can't wait to see what more he can accomplish throughout his time in high school. Congratulations, Gauge, you deserve this moment!
