Positive Potato is Ogden Middle School's version of Student of the Month with an extra fun title! One student is awarded from each grade. The students are selected by the adults in the building based on these character traits: respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, caring, and always trying to improve. The Positive Potato recipients this month are:
8th Grade: Ryder Hamil
7th Grade: Bentley Burdette
6th Grade: Beau Savits
The students are given a certificate with the educator's feedback for them. Here is just a snapshot of the one the students chose to share:
“Ryder always has a smile on his face. He is not afraid to try new/hard things and be challenged. He continues to grow in his leadership abilities and is such a pleasure to be around!” - Mrs. Lloyd
“Bentley, You are such a kind and caring person! You are always wanting to make sure that everyone is doing their best and supporting what we are doing in class. I am so happy to have you in my class and grateful that you are supportive and helpful in class. You are a great role model and a good leader for people to look up to.” -Ms. McCormick
“Beau is the silent leader type. He sets such a great example of how you can be a positive influence without being the center of attention. He goes above and beyond and always has that Beau smile!” - Ms. Reutter
Thank you to these people and businesses for their support of our amazing young people: Kim McCormick for her stellar crochet skills (each winner receives their very own positive potato with a superhero cape), The Well for their donation of drink coupons, and Ogden Fareway for their donation of snacks.
