6. Ace Recipients Recognition
Rationale:
Richelle Schmidt has been selected as the Flyer ACE in the high school for the month of March. Richelle was nominated by her FCCLA sponsor, Theresa McDowell. Mrs. McDowell was impressed with Richelle's great leadership skills during FCCLA officer elections. She put in a lot of time and effort into the evaluation of the applicants. She showed great maturity in making some tough choices.
Audra Goosic has been selected as the elementary ACE for the month. Audra received three "Way-to-go" tickets this month. One from Mrs. Angie Grube when Audra provided assistance teaching a classmate how to tie her shoes. Mrs. Janet Kahrs gave Audra two tickets, one for being a good helper in the mornings to get ready for the day and the second for cleaning up around the lunch table to help others.
