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: Zach Crosman
7th Grade: Drew Pelleymounter
6th Grade: Joslyn Britton
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:
"Zach, Even though I don’t have you in class anymore, I am proud of the person you are growing up to be! You are kind, caring, and welcoming to all! Your happiness is contagious and you are a joy to have around. Continue to be the happy, goofy self that you are and never let anyone change that!" - Ms. McCormick
"Drew, You are a sweet boy who’s always willing to help me and others. Your kind ways cheer us up each day and you are a valued member of our class. Keep leading with positivity and your great attitude. I’m lucky to have you in my class." - Mrs. Joseph
"Joslyn, You are a great role model and a delight to have in class! Continue to be a bright light for people to follow! Never dull your shine and always know that you are a wonderful person and a great example for so many people to look up to!" - Ms. McCormick
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.
