The J.O. Combs Unified School District is continuing its partnership with Banner Ironwood Medical Center in Queen Creek to administer its Student of the Month program.
The program provides an opportunity each month for one student from each of the district's eight 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. 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 J.O. Combs Unified School District Governing Board meeting each month where they are acknowledged by Superintendent Dr. Greg Wyman, the governing board and a Banner Ironwood representative.
Students of the Month for September are:
- Combs High School - Alina Gerasimova
- Combs Center for Success - Daniel Roanhorse
- Combs Middle School - Adan Tamayo
- Combs Traditional Academy - Nathan Reynolds
- Harmon Elementary - Owen Underwood
- Ellsworth Elementary - Ellie Orozco-Castaneda
- Simonton Elementary - Presley Portillo
- Ranch Elementary - Raelynn Stewart
