Savannah Shively Wins Raider of the Month for October 2016!!
Savannah Shively, a eighth-grader at Argonia JH, became the next “Raider of the Month” for October, 2016. The Activities/Athletics Department of Argonia Junior/Senior High School has decided to recognize one student 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 student is chosen as “Raider of the Month.”
Savannah was chosen for the month of October after being nominated by Mrs. Paxson. She had this to say about Savannah:
“I'd like to nominate Savannah Shively for Raider of the Month for October. This girl has really shown Raider PRIDE to kick off the new school year. She always greets me with a smile and tries to have little conversations or asks me how I'm doing when she sees me in the hallway. Her enthusiasm about getting to participate in the Local Spelling Bee was great to see. She was so excited to get to compete! Savannah even made it to an anticipated championship word round, and, for at least that round, was the last one standing. She always seems to try to give her best with a smile on her face no matter what she's trying to do - schoolwork, activities, or sports. She's got pride in her abilities and shows pride for her school. Keep it up, Savannah!.”
The “Raider of the Month” is part of a renewed effort to build school pride. The selected student has their picture on a bulletin board along with comments from the coach or sponsor who nominated him or her. Look for a new student in November!!
