Swanville Senior High Student of the Month

Swanville

Public School is pleased to announce the January Senior High Student of the Month, senior Nicholas Kedrowski. Nick is the son of David Kedrowski and Melinda Spieker. Nick enjoys a wide variety of activities, including playing sports of all types, spending time with friends, hunting and fishing. He is unsure of future plans at this point but is leaning toward going to college for either law enforcement or nursing.

Nick has been playing basketball since fourth grade, and has been playing football since seventh grade. Football is easily his favorite sport. Outside of school, he participates in youth group and volunteers with Swanville Athletic Boosters. Nick is consistently on the A Honor Roll and has been honored with the All Conference Academic Award in Football, has been Athlete of the Month and is a former

Student of the Month. His advice for other students is to “get your work done and make sure to be nice to others. Stay positive!”

Instructor and Football Coach Adam Gerads says, “Nick is an excellent choice for student of the month. Nick is a hard worker who does anything asked of him. Nick is well respected within the school where he gets along with everyone. I had the privilege of being able to coach Nick where he was one of the hardest working kids on the field at all times. He carries that same work ethic into the classroom where he pushes himself to do the best he can. Congratulations Nick!”

Physical Education instructor Chad Brever says this about Nick, “Nicholas is a hard worker that puts effort and hard work into everything he does inside and outside of the school. He is very polite to others and works well in a team or group setting. He puts others before himself for the benefit of the group or team. Nicholas is a positive role model for his classmates, teammates and younger students. I have enjoyed working with Nicholas in my classroom and he has been a great asset as a teacher’s assistant. He is responsible, respectful, honest, helpful and hardworking. Nicholas is well-deserving for the student of the month award.”

Swanville Public School is pleased to announce the January Junior High Student of the Month, eighth grade student Ronelle Hasse. She is the daughter of David and Liza Hasse. She enjoys hanging out with family and friends and doing pretty much anything outdoors, but especially enjoys riding ATV or snowmobiles. She plans to go onto post-secondary education but is unsure of her career avenue just yet.

Ronelle has participated in volleyball and theatre since seventh grade, softball since sixth grade and this year was elected to student council. She is consistently on the A Honor roll. Ronelle’s favorite thing about school is being with her friends. Her advice to other students is “always do your best and try to succeed.” Outside of school Ronelle volunteers at her church and has gone on a number of mission trips and has one planned for this summer. Social Studies instructor Tom Bzdok says, “Ronelle is a wonderful student to have in class. She is a gifted student who will always give you her best effort no matter what the situation is. Ronelle is extremely mature and is always willing to sacrifice her time to help her classmates. She is well liked by her peers as well as adults and has emerged as a leader amongst her classmates by setting positive examples to follow. Congratulations Ronelle!”
