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:
6th Grade: Alice Savits
7th Grade: Jake Snedden
8th Grade: Ryder Wisecup
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:
Alice: Not surprised at all that Alice has taken on Middle School like everything else she does! She is so kind, responsible, and hard working. She is an absolute joy to be around and I love getting to see her. I can't wait to watch her grow as an Ogden student. - Ms.Terri
Jake: Jake is the perfect balance of student and friend. He has his (friend) moments and comes right back to be the student others look up to. You are a born leader Jake, choose your path wisely. Keep working hard! I’m excited to spend the next 5 years with you!
- Ms.Terri
Ryder: Congratulations on being the first chosen in 8th grade this year! I’ve enjoyed watching you mature and grow from 6th grade into who you are now: a gifted writer, deep thinker, and a strong student…not to mention a great sense of humor and work ethic. Keep shining, Ryder! Set those goals high and don’t let anything get in the way. - Mrs. Scholl
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.
