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: Lincoln Buchwald
7th Grade: Bentlee Hoskinson
6th Grade: Isaac Crosman
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:
Lincoln - I have appreciated having you in my class this year! Your sense of humor and quick wit are greatly appreciated! Continue to be true to you. You are meant for great things in this world and don’t ever forget that. Some of the greatest leaders are the quietest. :) - Ms. McCormick
Bentlee - You have come so far from that 6th grader that I had to keep on task. Your infectious smile makes everyone else smile. You are kind and helpful and always so respectful. Congratulations, you are so deserving!! - Ms. Terri
Isaac - I love having you in my room! You have such a fun personality. Whether we are talking about sports or searching for something we just need the answer to right now, we always have a good laugh about it. You are a great role model to the other students and set a great example. Congratulations, so proud of you! - Ms. Terri
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.
