The Miamisburg City School District October Student of the Month is Emmalene Middendorf. Emmalene is a fifth grade student at Bear Elementary School and was nominated by the fifth grade teacher team of Sara Dunifon, Samentha Lucas and Ashley Murr. They explained why Emmalene was chosen, "Emmy meets all PAWS expectations, every single day, but she especially "Acts responsibly". We never have to ask Emmy to listen to directions or give her reminders. She listens for instructions and gets straight to work. Emmy completes all assignments and does them to the best of her ability. Emmy shows great perseverance when things get tough. She never gives up and will always ask questions when she doesn't understand something, but first always tries to complete assignments on her own. She has never forgotten her Friday Folder, nor has she had any missing or late assignments. If she finishes her work early she gets to work on another assignment and/or reads quietly, without even being asked or reminded. When asked to put computers away or meet at the front of the room, she walks with purpose and gets to where she needs to be in an appropriate amount of time. Emmy takes pride in her work and writes in her best handwriting and takes her time to answer all questions asked. She is a positive role model to her classmates and a great friend to all students. She never complains when we change seats or pick partners, and she is always willing to work with any student. She does a great job with helping other students, when given permission to do so. She knows how to guide students' understanding without giving the answers. Another way Emmy shows responsibility is through Student council. Emmy was nominated by her peers; this shows that Emmy is thought of as responsible by her peers. Emmy goes to the Student council meetings and works hard to complete any task given to her.

Emmy also shows great pride and care for our school. She is always making sure the classrooms and other locations around the school building are cleaned up and safe. Almost daily Emmy will walk around Miss Murr's classroom at the end of the day (without being asked or told) and pick up pencils and trash up off the floor. She will push in people's chairs for them if they forget and stack leftover chairs at the end of the day so they are out of the way. Emmy takes great initiative in all she does and her awesome behavior definitely doesn't go unnoticed. The Fifth Grade Team proudly selects Emmy Middendorf as October's student of the month."

The Miamisburg City School District September Student of the Month is Jacob Hatton (pictured with MHS Principal Craig Morris). Jacob is a senior at Miamisburg High School and was nominated by his teacher Daniella DiMasso-Shininger. Jacob was nominated because he best exemplified the MHS "Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports" (PBIS) expectation "Upholds Expectations". Mrs. DiMasso-Shininger explained "Every day, Jacob comes in and sets a wonderful example for my creative writing class. He begins working immediately and stays on task throughout the period, and he consistently turns in high quality pieces. He is the first to volunteer an answer or read his pieces aloud during our oral presentation sharing days, so that no one else is forced to go first. As part of peer revisions, Jacob gives thoughtful and constructive criticism to his classmates, and thus they can also succeed on their stories and poems. Jacob is very respectful, consistently greeting everyone politely when he arrives in the room and wishing everyone well when he leaves. His academics, attitudes, and actions exemplify B.U.R.G. Behavior."
