STUCO Wins Raider of the Month for January 2016
Launch the media gallery 1 playerAHS STUCO became the next “Raider of the Month” for January, 2016. The Activities/Athletics Department of Argonia High School has decided to recognize one student (or group) a month who has demonstrated exceptional pride and integrity while competing in athletics or activities. Students are nominated by coaches and sponsors and, once a month, a “Raider of the Month” is chosen.
STUCO was chosen for the month of January after being nominated by Sue Randall. She had this to say about STUCO:
“I would like to nominate the AHS Student Council and their sponsor, Jon Mead, for the Raider of the Month award.
STUCO came to my aid after I mentioned to Mr. Mead how many Angel Tree gifts still needed to be purchased from the trees at the bank and city building. Instead of just helping to donate some money to help a few kids, they took the cards for me and went shopping at Wal-Mart with money that I had which had been donated from the community, so that all of the kids would have something under the tree for them Christmas morning. They shopped for over 20 gifts in less than a half hour. They were respectful to others in the store and when we checked out at the cash register. They had excellent ideas for the gifts and even found a proper gift bag to put it in. I was so thankful that I did not have to do all that shopping on my own!
I really appreciated that Mr. Mead took them over and back in the mini bus and even taking them out for ice cream afterwards.
They deserve to be recognized for their good deed!”
The “Raider of the Month” is part of a renewed effort to build school pride. The student (or group) selected has their picture on a bulletin board along with comments from the coach or sponsor who submitted the nomination. Look for a new student in February!!
