Big Sioux Media and Luv My Sweets are proud to continue the “Cardinal of the Month” campaign for the 2020-2021 school year! Every month students from Dell Rapids St Mary will be chosen to be recognized as “Cardinals of the Month”. We want to not only recognize the hard work that students put in the classroom with their studies, but also the great things they are doing inside the school and out in the community, such as being positive role models to younger students, lending a helping hand without asking, or community service. Administration and staff will be nominating and selecting students each month. Big Sioux Media will be recognizing those students on our website, presenting them with a certificate, and a 1/2 dozen cupcakes from Luv My Sweets!
If you spot a student exhibiting the qualities listed in the community, and would like to nominate them for Cardinal of the Month, email us at admin@bigsiouxmedia.com. We’ll send your comments to the appropriate school for the administration to consider them as a nominee!
March Cardinals of the Month
Dell Rapids St Mary Elementary School – Isaac Ahlers: According to his nomination, Isaac is a hard worker in the classroom, getting work done on time every day. If another student needs help, he will quietly help him or her. To be the center of attention is not who he wants to be, and yet, will be asked to be a partner by many others because of the gentle nature that he shows to them on a daily basis. Isaac possesses the virtues of honesty, fair play, humility, reliability, courteousness, and kindness. He always has a smile for others and is a great role model. We are proud to call Isaac a St. Mary Cardinal!!
Dell Rapids St Mary High School – Keaton Hansen: Keaton was nominated first and foremost for his academic capabilities. One teacher explained, “Keaton always turns in high quality work. He is a top student in his class. He is willing to participate in class and always has the answer when called upon.” On top of his academic capabilities, Keaton was praised for his behavior and decision-making. A teacher said, “Keaton is very well behaved in class. Even when others tend to get out of line or act up, Keaton is not a follower and doesn’t join in.” Keaton’s academic capabilities have him set on a path to success in high school and beyond, and his willingness to do the right thing set a great example for others. All together this makes Keaton a great choice as the 7-12 Cardinal of the Month for the month of March. Congratulations Keaton!
