Junior Kady Albrecht has been chosen for October student of the month. She is the daughter of Craig and Caryn Albrecht.

When selecting the student of the month for Herington High School, many qualities are being evaluated by the teachers.

“I look for both social and academic skills,” said Mrs. Kim Coover. Academically, she looks for students with good grades, class participation, good study habits, and the quality of their work. She also considers how the student treats their peers and teachers, and if they are kind and respectful.

Kady was chosen because she excels in all of these categories. Regardless of any differences, she is kind and thoughtful to everyone.  She puts hard work into her academics and doesn’t settle for anything less than her best. Kady feels honored that the teachers chose her as the student of the month.

This year Kady has been involved in the following activities: Stuco, NHS, FCCLA, the musical, mixed choir, jazz band, pep band, and marching band. She likes her advanced math class the most because it is the most challenging.

“My parents have influenced me the most this year, because they’re always telling me to work hard and do my best in everything,” Kady said. After high school, she plans to attend Butler Community College where she will begin working toward a degree in elementary education.

According to Kady, in order to succeed academically, finishing up homework, turning it in on time, and paying attention in class are very important. She will continue to do so throughout the year, along with having a good attitude and being respectful.

The other nominees for SOTM were Seniors Alex Vahscholtz, Elizabeth Beye, Jennifer Gasaway, Jessica Perry, and Juniors Alex Gonzolas, Ashley Evans, Crysta Brockmeier, Jake Meyer, Jayce DeMont, Ryan Floyd, and Torey Berndt.
